With expressive vocals and thoughtful songwriting, the live performance moves effortlessly between quiet, reflective moments and uplifting, energetic songs. Drawing inspiration from the emotional depth and anthemic sound, each set takes audiences on an emotional journey through themes of hope, resilience, love, and self-discovery. Audiences can expect an engaging live experience, memorable hooks, and music that lingers long after the final note. Bios The Escapist Music (Arnaud Dagenais) is a multi-instrumentalist, singer/songwriter emerging artist from Montreal. The musician’s ability to create melodic pop/rock catchy songs, blended with a natural charismatic aura, allows him to reach the public and make his audience engage with his songs. The artist released four official singles: «Love Like Gravity», «All I Need», «Violence» and «Cigarettes & Diamonds». All were independently released and produced by the composer. His main inspirations are astronomy, intuition, physics, critical consciousness and social action. Since 2010, The Escapist Music performed more than 150 concerts across eastern Canada and the United States in cities like Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, Quebec City and New York City. Arnaud also supports the youth of his Montreal community by working as a community worker. The engagement in his community is also directly reflected into his musical art as a great source of inspiration. Inside out of his career, Arnaud is assisting young artists by creating opportunities of creative development. Through popular education, empowerment, guidance and music production, he supports them to reach their full potential. In 2026, Arnaud will tour in Canada and collaborate with other artists to reach more people with his music.
