Jean-François Racine - Music Composer

As a well-versed pianist since his childhood, Jean- François began composing music by being part of a progressive metal band called Kälter. Jean-François then studied jazz piano in college. He continued his musical path by completing a bachelor's degree at Sherbrooke’s University, studying in composition and interactive music.

Nowadays, he composes for symphonic orchestras, piano, jazz ensembles, and choirs. He also produces electronic music under the name of Frootz and Detoor. Color, passion, harmony, and versatility can be found in all of his works.

Jean-François joined the team during the summer of 2016, after winning a prize and being recruited by the SilverJack Studio at the Pixel Challenge 2016. The year after, he won the first prize for videogame music.
