In 1981 Sylvain founded the group Mysterioso, dedicated to the music of jazzman Thelonious Monk and performed at the Montréal International Jazz Festival, 1983.
Swiss Chris , who is originally from Switzerland, just finished four years as Music Director and Drummer for five time Grammy winner, John Legend, one of the most talented singer/songwriters in the world today. Swiss is now moving on and doing his own solo work as producer and artists on CPR Records.
He is not just a drummer, but also an educator, activist AND a musical genius with a positive vibe and a passionate supporter for world peace.
