Thélonius is a pianist and composer residing in Montreal that has always been immersed in artistic creation in all its forms. he has meticulously cultivated his unique artistic vision, through countless solitary hours at the piano. His debut album, "Marche Nocturne," an array of 16 original, short and evocative, solo piano pieces, will be released in the fall of 2024.

Despite showcasing remarkable talent in classical piano during his conservatoire studies in France, Thélonius chose to follow a less conventional path. He then began his journey in jazz piano under the guidance of Claude Terranova at the Conservatoire d'Aubervilliers before venturing to Montreal in 2018.

The son of a Dominican visual artist, and a French sculptor, he fuses genres and cultures, reminding us, among others, of the music of Brazilian composer Tom Jobim or the sensibility of Cuban pianist Gonzalo Rubalcaba, while drawing his inspiration from the great French Impressionists, Claude Debussy and Gabriel Fauré.  

Thélonius is rooted in the musical world of instrumental solo piano music and contemporary composers such as Nils Frahm, Hania Rani, Ryūichi Sakamoto, and Max Richter. This love of these pianists colors his approach, which is rooted in his jazz training and origins. He aims to distinguish himself by bringing his own unique musical conception to bear on a peaceful, intercontinental, and multicultural approach, erasing established cultural, social, and human boundaries.

With his debut album "Marche Nocturne", he seeks to evoke the depths of the human being, and a look at his history. He takes listeners into a world of dreams and imagination. A world expressed through a palette of colors, from the lightest to the darkest tones.
