The captivating sonic universe of multi-instrumentalist and musical director Julien Fillion is shaped by relentless musical exploration and a masterful command of tension-and-release dynamics. The original compositions from his self-titled debut album (2021) and his EPs ego (2024) and ego.alt (2025) form a bold body of work that merges contemporary jazz, rock, and shades of pop music.
Named Radio-Canada’s 2021–2022 Revelation, Julien Fillion pushes the boundaries of musical genres, crafting a truly singular artistic vision. Performing on saxophone, guitar, and keyboards, and joined by an unconventional ensemble featuring a bassist (Jonathan Arseneau) and two drummers (Alain Bourgeois and Thomas Sauvé-Lafrance), he delivers a rich live experience and repertoire, drawing from his wide-ranging collaborations with artists such as Jazzamboka, Bobby Bazini, Les Louanges, Diane Tell, Fouki, and many others.

Avec des compositions et un style très personnel, Julien Fillion nous emmène dans un univers particulier et le public s’est laissé emporté avec grand bonheur. La formation originale de l’ensemble peut déconcerter avec son jazz résolument moderne, mais elle livre la marchandise au-delà des attentes avec des musiciens totalement investis et inspirés par le projet de Fillion. Une très belle découverte que l’on ne manquera pas de suivre dans son évolution.
Sors-tu.ca - Jérôme DaviauLe quatuor dirigé par Julien Fillion se démarque par sa configuration inusitée. L’assise musicale de l’ensemble est grandement axée sur la rythmique et la mélodie. Les musiciens y ajoutent des textures et un support harmonique grâce à des synthétiseurs et des pédaliers d’effets qui leur permettent de voguer entre une multitude de sonorités.
