Yes, it's true. Lately we've been very much indie folk. But we have nothing to do with it, it's not our fault if there's so much talented people in this musical universe.

And these talents are sometimes linked. It's Ben Greenberg, member of the IMC Family, who advised Genesis Ritchot to offer us his work. And what a good advice! In a very acoustic universe and devoid of super electronic production, the Canadian artist amazes us by his simplicity, and the richness of his melodies. His talent for writing is certain. With Genesis Ritchot, words become sentences ... which become magic. His voice is perfectly mastered, and he was able to prove it on TV in the Québec version of The Voice (La Voix). Equally at ease in French as in English, the artist follows his instincts, and writes with a delicate feather that seduced us from the first seconds.

Genesis Ritchot's point of view:

It’s hard to see the person you love getting married to someone else. Even though you have to let it go, it always seems like there’s a little bit of hope left. With a catchy chorus and relatable lyrics, this song has reached the hearts of hundreds of people in live shows and I hope it will reach a lot more through streaming services.

Biography:

It would not be farfetched to say that Genesis Ritchot has music flowing through his veins. Born in a family of artists, he started to experiment with song writing at a young age, expressing himself through music. He was regularly jamming with his guitar beside a campfire, singing to his friends, regaling them with his own compositions or cover songs of his favorite artists and popular bands. When he wasn’t singing with his friends, he was standing on the stage of his high school, letting his talent shine at the yearly shows. Fast forward a couple of years: he was selected after the blind audition in the Québec version of The Voice (La Voix) and got to appear on television. He then went on to fulfill a lifelong dream of his, making his first album, Simple Complications, thereby sharing a part of himself with the world. Far from being a one trick pony, he’s truly a multidisciplinary artist, evidenced by the fact that he wrote all the songs on his album, recorded them, mixed them, mastered them and did the album design. From music, to graphics, to inspiring passion with numbers, he truly does it all. When he’s not teaching math to high school students, you can find him with a guitar in his hands doing some shows in the Ottawa-Gatineau region.
