#54: Simon Grenier (Funk Improvisation, Cultural Resistance, and Musical Evolution)

Simon Grenier is known for his improvisational mastery and deep connection to Montreal's funk scene.

As an original co-creator of the Friendly Frogs Freak Show and the mind behind Bobcat Gelatine, Simon is a creative master.

In this conversation, Simon takes us on a journey from discovering music after inheriting his father's guitars to becoming a cornerstone of Montreal's funk and improv scenes. He opens up about his struggles with performance anxiety, the challenges of balancing personal growth with musical creation, and the lessons learned from his transformative creative journey. We dive into topics like the DIY revolution in the music industry, social media's double-edged sword, and his approach to community building through music.

Key Takeaways:

  • The importance of cultural resilience: “Culture is one of the most resilient things. It’s the last thing to go and the first thing to come back.”
  • Embracing imperfection: “That cassette we recorded was so bad, but it made me laugh harder than I’ve ever laughed.”
  • Letting go of glory: “The great musician is no better than the accountant next door. I make music for music’s sake.”

Simon’s perspective on blending structured and improvised performance, redefining self-expression, and finding joy in creating for the love of it offers invaluable insights for musicians and fans alike. Whether you're a seasoned artist or just exploring your creativity, this episode is packed with inspiration.
