Gabriel's Profile

The person I have interviewed is Gabriel Maurice. He is a 19 year old music student who comes from Montebello in Outaouais. His goals are to finish his college studies, which will allow him to go to university to continue studying his instrument, the bass guitar. He also wishes, in a long term view, to be able to live of his music, his main passion. His achievements are the band he plays in, the concerts he did with his bandmates and a tour he made with them around the province during last fall. His main interests are to play and to listen to music, but he also practices road bicycle. He is also interested in traveling. His social network is quite large, because he has family and friends in his hometown: Montebello, in Montreal and around the Quebec because of his touring with his band. His skills are his talents for composing and playing music with his instrument and he is also good at bicycle.
