Rockmeo
Songwriter and melodist
The Journey:
Stevens J Soucy was born in Quebec, in the town of Baie-Comeau on the North Shore. Very young, at the age of nine, he began to learn music by taking organ, singing and music theory lessons at his local music school with Madame Auger. When he was 21, he bought his first electric guitar as a gift. This favorite instrument inspired him to write texts and compose music. This daring artist honed his writing skills by learning the acoustic guitar on his own.
This go-getter and willful side of his personality also developed while he played football for the Vikings team at the Des Baies high school in Baie-Comeau, and then at the AAA college level for the Diablos of the Trois-Rivieres’s College.
In 1990, he left Quebec for British Columbia and settled in Vancouver to learn English. In his need to express himself and to externalize himself, he pursues the development of writing texts, the musical composition of his music and even the interpretation of his own songs. In 1994, he even took singing lessons at Capilano College & University – in North Vancouver British Columbia.
A tireless and constantly growing artist, he combines writing workshops and song contests. Between 1998 and 2000, he enrolled in the “Ateliers de la chanson” of the Centre Francophone of Vancouver and participated in the song contest in the “Author, Composer and Performer” category at the Gala de la chanson de Vancouver. In July ‘99, he participated in the Festival francophone de Vancouver, in a duet with his friend and accomplice Dany Savard in the first part of the show with the group Corback, whom was passing through Vancouver. In June 2000, he was on the Jessy Award lineup as a songwriter and composer at the “Small Theater” in the play “One Way” in addition to being nominated for his music composed for the play.
In July of the same year, he released his first album of 12 original creations entitled “Le Sang Vibrant”. This first opus, without the desired commercial success, failed to curb his creative spirit and his passion for music and composition.
After his return to Quebec in 2016 with his wife, he and his soul mate, whom she affectionately calls “My Romeo”, revived the music with the posting of songs from his CD on Facebook and Youtube (Epic Fail ). This idea of sharing allowed him to envision a new facet of his artistic career and gave birth to Rockmeo, the author, the composer and the melodist.
