Erik Mongrain was born in Montreal on April 12, 1980 he was born from a small simple family. Growing up to the sounds of Metallica, Jimi Hendrix and mostly Kurt Cobain from Nirvana, Erik discovered an interest in guitar. At 14, he received a classical guitar as a gift and learnt by ear his favourite songs. A year later, he bought his very first electric guitar which allowed him to learn and play Nirvana songs to his delight. Over the following four years, he learned guitar on his own, composed his own music and discovered all of classical guitar melodies, which he learned by heart <3.He discovered and experimented a technique, which was unknown to him until then, he found Lap Tapping. With the guitar on his lap, he tapped the chords as if it were a piano. The effect was spectacular! He played his guitar by using Lap Tapping treatment all over the streets, subways and everywhere. People passed him one by one on the streets and finally he got his first "fans ".
In Granada, Spain, a journalist came across this young Montrealer, who was then 21, sitting on the sidewalk and playing his guitar. Impressed by his talent, he wrote an article in "Granada" newspaper and made this following articles:
"As another great guitar tapping player, Stanley Jordan, Mongrain started out in the streets of Granada, he will continue on in the Barcelona subway and will probably end up recording on world class major labels Jesus Arias, Granada, May 18, 2001".
And now, Erik is a musician who is constantly researching and exploring the world of music. For almost two years now, Erik has resumed standard guitar posture and has been writing at tremendous speed songs in which the harmonies and melodies are profoundly inspired. It is often said that one cannot fight fate. From streets to T.V. sets, this young self-taught guitar player has not betrayed the old saying. 2007, Erik Mongrain launches his first CD entitled "Fates" and now "Equilibrium" to the delight of music lovers.
