Hello friend!
My name is Shogo Luc Shimizu—I'm a jazz musician living in Montréal, QC. My primary instrument is piano, but I also sing, play guitar, bass, drums and anything else I can get my hands on to feel and connect with Music.
Welcome to my website. This is the very beginning of something... something which I am not quite sure yet what it will be. This is a place for me to document my musical journey, share any lessons learned along the way, and hopefully provide some value to you in the process.
Having started playing piano later than most, and not attending any of the so-called "jazz schools", I'm finding myself searching for the most direct path to musical and creative freedom. I'm searching for connection, ease-of-being, and authentic expression. Above all, I'm searching for lasting peace and happiness, and the experience of unity with that creative force which we call "God", "consciousness", "life", "truth", "love", and "beauty".

Thank you for joining me, and I hope you will stick around so that we may learn and grow together.
Musically yours,
