William Lamoureux - musician

Will Lamoureux is a string player, composer, arranger, producer and songwriter based in the Junction Triangle in Toronto. He writes and arranges music for recording artists, film/TV, podcasts, contemporary dance, and whatever else you are hearing strings on these days.

He has collaborated with numerous renowned artists, including Nelly Furtado, Faouzia, Alessia Cara, Charlotte Cardin, Wild Rivers, Lido Pimienta, and Tobias Dray; with Grammy Award-nominated producers T-Minus, Ido Zmishlany, Jim Beanz, and Maneesh; with Oscar-nominated film music composer Ben Charest; and with choreographer/founder of the RUBBERBAND dance company Victor Quijada, among many others.

Will wrote the theme to the #1 ranked podcast Let’s Not Be Kidding, hosted by Gavin Crawford on CBC; he regularly collaborates on film/documentary scores with Montréal-based music services company Ray-On; and frequently teams up with childhood best friend and acclaimed filmmaker Zac Turgeon on commercials, documentaries and short films.

He is also the head orchestrator and concertmaster for the New Babyl Orchestra, performing Hulu’s Utopia Falls, with composer Nikhil Seetharam and producer Boi-1da.

But the work he is most proud of comes from ceryyse - the album je sais qu’au fond de mon âme se trouve un jardin, where he wrote, composed, arranged, produced, engineered, performed, photographed, designed, obsessed over, given up on, and eventually accepted with close collaborator Benaias Lemma.
