Sébastien Robitaille
- Composer
- Music Department
Born and raised in the professional music industry, JSR has a
multifaceted musical career that includes composing (live and computer
music), performing, arranging, and sound engineering.
He wrote his first musical piece at age 10 and five years later, he was one of the top 10 finalists (out of 3000 candidates) in a Pepsi contest to score their next national campaign. He wrote his first professional music piece that same year for a local radio ad.
At age 18, aside from songwriting on a daily basis, he was performing nightly in all the major "top 40" clubs around Quebec. At 21, he began working as a sound engineer for Genie Award winner composer Jean Robitaille. His true talent, his passion for music, his sensitivity and his extensive technical knowledge quickly got him involved on several productions as a composer instead of an engineer.
Amongst others, he wrote the score for Quebec's version of the very popular TV show "Fear Factor", and in 2004, he was one of the three composers who scored the 6 times Award-winning feature film "Bittersweet Memories" aka "My life in cinemascope" (Directed by Denise Filiatrault and produced by Cinémaginaire).
Over the last 15 years, JSR has written scores for hundreds of commercials, TV series, documentaries, short-films and he has just finished his first score for a video game - "The Golden Compass" (from the feature-film) for Nintendo DS.
