Yves Frulla

A versatile musician with a background in classical piano, Yves Frulla quickly worked his way up in the music industry, establishing his reputation as a brilliant keyboard player. Today, his impressive experience reads like a "who's-who" of the pop/rock music scene, both in his native Canada and internationally. Indeed, over the years, he has toured and travelled extensively with a number of renowned Canadian artists, including Juno Award winner Sass Jordan, as well as Julie Masse, Sylvain Cossette, Laurence Jalbert and Claude Dubois.

Since 1990, he has had the honour of being keyboard player for Celine Dion, touring with her worldwide, recording three live albums and appearing on numerous TV shows, including Jay Leno, David Letterman, Arsenio Hall, and Oprah Winfrey. He was part of Celine's "A New Day" Las Vegas show, hailed as a breakthrough in the entertainment world and is currently part of Celine's new "taking chances" world tour that started in February 2008 .

Also an experienced composer and bandleader, Yves has produced, arranged and recorded television and film music for vocalists and dance groups, and has composed and arranged for both published and new songwriters. He currently owns a project studio in Las Vegas, and regularly commutes to Nashville and Los Angeles to collaborate on songwriting projects with established songwriters.

He plans to continue writing, producing, recording and touring with new and established artists, and pursuing television and film work after Celine's tour winds down.

Yves plays MOTIF ES and MOT-RACK ES (and too many vintage Yamaha synths/racks to mention!) and has relied upon Yamaha products for years to create the magic sound that has enthralled millions of people the world over.
