This subject fails WP:GNG, WP:NMUSIC, and WP:ACADEMIC. Previous versions were full of a smattering of somewhat vague uncited claims to notability, as well as cites to promoters, and claims about third parties without good references. I removed the majority of those. This subject's sole named ensemble, even before my WP:BLP edits, has been the percussion quartet Répercussion, itself not apparently notable. There is one interview full of third party claims with Drum!, but I don't think the source is reliable particularly for third party claims, nor the import of what they claim. I left local Montrealer (non-notable publication) coverage in external links, as the source failed to name any author in one piece, and clearly sourced its promotional information from the subject in the other. It also contains advertisements for the subject, indicating the subject is responsible for funding publication or is affiliated closely enough to get free ad space. It's not a particularly WP:RS.

• Delete. Nothing stated in the article is "inherently" notable in the absence of a WP:GNG-worthy volume of reliable source coverage about his endeavours — but the only article being used as footnoting is a Q&A interview in which he's talking about himself in the first person, and the two "external links" are both from a minor hyperlocal cityblog in the subject's hometown, which doesn't add up to a GNG-worthy volume of coverage.
