About ME
BOOSTER FAWN'S ELEVATOR PITCH
Based in Montreal, Booster Fawn uses a wide range of musical styles and genres to spread his message of faith, love, and healing. What makes this ex-cherry picker’s music so special is his approach to collaboration. Over the years he’s recorded and performed with many different musicians, meaning that one never knows what to expect when they see him perform or listen to his music. His current manifestation, however, is decidedly a lo-fi acoustic number that morphs into a neo-western flavoured folk rock with hypnotic and mantra-like vocal lines. Booster Fawn is part chameleon, part phoenix, 100% kaleidoscope.
''Dreams Made Of Snowflakes'' Press Release
Booster Fawn, also known as Joshua Marc Seguin, penned the eleven tracks on 'Dreams Made Of Snowflakes' during his positive journey to sobriety. Produced at Sub River Records near Montreal, the album is a cornerstone of Booster's 'heart rock' vision.
'Dreams Made Of Snowflakes' captures the shift from addiction's shadows to a dream-like reality, blending potential with the vitality of a clean life. It's a celebration of the transformative power of survival. Seguin states, "This album embodies seizing and nurturing your dreams, preventing them from melting away."
ARTIST BIO ->
Booster Fawn's music first saw the light in 2016, on a cherry orchard in British Colombia. Originally from a humble single-parent family in North Lancaster, Ontario, Josh (b. 1989) has been frequenting the Montreal music scene since 2004 and it is the artists that were playing at this time that inspired him to make music and to live in Montreal, and this, since 2008. Booster Fawn produces albums that express what it means for him to be living on this earth. This usually means making a strange and delicious mixture of pop, folk and rock music inspired by his late 90's and early 2000's musical heroes, but with a distinctively modern twist. Before finding as voice as Booster Fawn, Josh was a professional snowskater for Ambition Snowskates (2008-2013).
Josh holds a BA in anthropology from McGill University (class of 2014). During his McGill days he founded local MTL DIY venue Psychic City (2012-2017) with his friend and NFB illustrator Paloma Dawkins. At the time, Psychic City was a hotspot for college indie acts and his band Two-Year Carnival played alongside many other groups that have today all found success in their own way ((nutrients (fka. Trade Secrets)), (Iffin (fka. The This Many Boyfriends Club)), (Nighttime) and (Mich Cota (fka. Archery Guild))). Because of his background editing skateboard and snowskate videos, Josh also directs and edits all of the bands' music videos.
His previous work with experimental label Jeunesse Cosmique (MTL) (Internet Mixtape #1, Sailor Songs and Psychic Laundry from Smoke-and-Mirror World), enabled him to explore various styles before settling on his unique brand of heart-rock. A following EP, "Wampire; Or, We'll Still Be Flowering Dragon Eggs Long After We Die" was released independently and sets the tone for his future releases.
Booster Fawn has played a good number of festival shows (Taverne Tour (2024), POP Montreal (2018 and 2023), Big on Bloor (2022) and Hudson Porchfest (2022)) as well as many MTL DIY shows. In April of 2023 he performed a full band set of new material on CJLO's "The Alley" and in May 2023 him and his band performed on CKUT's "Cafe CKUT". He recently signed with Seattle-based indie label Damaged Halo Records.
His music has been compared to that of Leonard Cohen, David Bowie, Talking Heads, Richard Hell, Elton John, The Cure, Neutral Milk Hotel, Bob Dylan, Wolf Parade, Florence And The Machine, Soft Boys, Pink Floyd, Syd Barret, Robyn Hitchcock, Modest Mouse, Velvet Undergroud, Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, Lou Reed, The Flaming Lips, Radiohead, Arcade Fire and Moz.
