Andre  Bisson
Andre Bisson
Lead Singer / Front man / Guitarist / Music Arranger

When one thinks of all the great performers of soul and rhythm & blues music, one doesn’t usually associate it with a young man from Northern Ontario –until they meet me.

I'm an award winning composer, arranger, guitar player and vocalist; one of the hardest working musicians around. Soulful, talented and sharp, I was clearly born with a passion for music and performing, as well as the smarts and talent to pull it all together and build a large following in Southern Ontario and beyond.

I spent a large part of my formative years performing in bars and festivals in his home town prior to relocating to Hamilton to study at the acclaimed Applied Music Program at Mohawk College. It was here that, with my raspy and soulful voice, I formed popular bands that would perform classic and original Rhythm & Blues with my band.

I'm currently performing, recording, and teaching on the Cello and Trumpet. I perform with the Andre Bisson Band that performs Rhythm & Blues in Canada, US, UK, and Ireland. I'm Director of The Loretta Hale Big Band, and cellist in a string duo called the Andre Bisson Duo and Rosetta Strings. I've been Nominated for Hamilton Music Award for "Special Instrumentalist" and for Tour Manager of the Year for the HMA's for my work with a UK & Ireland Tour and played on Andre Bisson's Record that is nominated 7 times for 2012 & 5 in 2013.

I studied Cello at Mohawk College for Music & Berklee College of Music Online for a Specialist Certificate in the Music Business.
