Drummer, singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Atom Lazare’s music is as mysterious as his demeanour. His 2018 debut EP The Word cemented him as an artist and instrumentalist with a songwriting style driven by groove. His vocal performance reflects the power of his lyrics, drawing inspiration from classics like Peter Gabriel and David Bowie.
Atom's technical ability on the drum set compliments a natural feel - a progressive jazz style that has been refined over two decades, playing from the age of four. Atom began studying music with his acceptance into the Gulf Islands School for Performing Arts, going on to hone his skills at Berklee College of Music in Boston where he earned a BA in Professional Music. Atom was featured in the Victoria Drum Fest Drumeo Drum Solo Contest and is recognized for his excellence on the instrument. A drummer at heart and an accomplished musician, his music delivers the perfect dichotomy between rhythm and fluidity.These songs will act as reflection of growth throughout his experience settling into adulthood, and as always, a balance between structure and improvisation. Pulling inspiration from progressive artists such as Snarky Puppy, as well as classics like Peter Gabriel and David Bowie, Atom has created an unparalleled sound that echoes generations of popular music. Technique lays the foundation for Lazare’s songs, while mystery remains the glue that holds them together. |
