He motions around the room as if his hands could fill the space with sound. He tells me that he often enquires with staff members at the local eateries he visits, \u201cIs there live music on any night? Would you like some? Would you like jazz? Wouldn\u2019t it be nice? And I convince them.<\/p>\n<p>Fuat\u2019s entrepreneurial spirit comes as no surprise. Before pursuing jazz full-time, he worked as a corporate lawyer in Turkey. Fuat recognizes both the importance and the difficulty of marketing yourself as a musician in Montreal. \u201cThat\u2019s where most of the musicians fail actually, even myself,\u201d he explains. \u201cYou called the bar one time, twice, three times. You stop by \u2013 they don\u2019t have time. Rejection, rejection, rejection. We have to deal with that. And sometimes, I see frustration in my colleagues, which is something I constantly battle as well because the market is not so big.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And yet, despite these challenges, Fuat says \u201cit\u2019s the Montreal live music scene that I find so inspiring.\u201d When asked to describe his inspirations, Fuat returned to the people around him: \u201cI must say most of my colleagues are my inspiration. Because we\u2019re so lucky. Any given day we can go out. And just like in New York, you can go to a live venue \u2013 it doesn\u2019t need to be jazz\u2026 There\u2019s just amazing music.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fuat is a jazz vocalist who enjoys singing many different styles of jazz. \u201cI think that as a musician, and as a person as well, you have to be open. You cannot say <em>I can\u2019t do that<\/em>, because that kills your inspiration.\u201d He understands that jazz music is not approachable for everyone, but he\u2019s thinking about ways that he can incorporate new sounds into his music. \u201cYou can go eclectic\u2026 Why not mix the genres of music and make something new, fresh?\u201d Fuat has been thinking about how \u201ceven the noise of the city sounds like hip-hop.\u201d At the moment, he\u2019s considering shaping his story as an immigrant into urban poetry and to use instrumentals that combine hip-hop, jazz, and eastern influences. On his upcoming album, he\u2019s looking to collaborate with other immigrants and musicians who have mastered Middle Eastern instruments.<\/p>\n<p>Fuat has never been a fan of what he calls \u201cthe elite hashtag on jazz.\u201d He discovered jazz later in his life, a theme he explores on his first album, <em>Late Bloomer<\/em>. The improvisational aspect of jazz intrigued Fuat, who appreciates the ability to reinvent a song each time he is on stage. The encouragement that he received from his teachers and the welcoming disposition of the local jazz community also drew him in.<\/p>\n<p>Fuat\u2019s passion for jazz is deeply entwined with his desire to bring people together. When he attends a dinner or a house party, he says \u201cI always ask \u2013 Can I bring a friend?\u201d Sometimes they say no, but Fuat is not defeated by this. \u201cIn our culture, in Turkish culture, you mix your friends. Whereas I realize here in Montreal people seem to not blend so much.\u201d But he continues to hold this Turkish value close, nourishing it with his music. \u201cI find it so fascinating and inspiring, actually. The interaction. And I think that there must be more interactions between the immigrants and the Quebecois living here.\u201d Fuat feels that there are open-minded people in Quebec, \u201cespecially in the music world\u2026 People are curious about different cultures.\u201d Through his music, Fuat aims to encourage people to be open to new sounds and to be curious about other cultures \u2013 music as a catalyst for change.<\/p>\n<p>As Fuat begins work on his next album, he turns to themes that have deeply influenced his life. \u201cImmigration, living in Montreal, the realities, I\u2019d like to derive from the realities of being an immigrant and the reality of being a real Quebecois.\u201d When asked about including political and social themes like immigration and belonging into his music, Fuat\u2019s response is candid: \u201cI guess when you\u2019re an immigrant you have no choice\u2026 you have to.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #17a46a;\"><strong>Discover more!<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fuattuac.com\/about.html\">Fuat Tua\u00e7&#8217;s webpage<\/a><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Follow us on our new <span style=\"color: #ac208e;\"><a style=\"color: #ac208e;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/elanqc\/\"><span style=\"color: #17a46a;\">Instagram<\/span><\/a><\/span> account to see more of<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/elanqc\/\"><span style=\"color: #ac208e;\"><span style=\"color: #17a46a;\"> Fuat Tua\u00e7&#8217;s<\/span><\/span><\/a> (#fuattuac) life as a jazz musician and performer!<\/h4>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">A new photo or video will become available everyday from <strong>April 3 &#8211; April 10, 2018.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Finding Connection in the Montreal Jazz Scene By: Erika Serodio Fuat Tua\u00e7 was waiting at the bar when I arrived at Caf\u00e9 Parvis. \u201cI usually go to places like this,\u201d he tells me a few minutes later.
