Carl Mayotte is a Canadian bass guitarist, composer, arranger and conductor. In 2018, he formed a jazz fusion group, the Carl Mayotte Quintet. Early life He began his musical career at age 16, playing in many bars and events around Quebec, Canada. He completed a technical degree at Campus Notre-Dame-de-Foy before completing his bachelor's degree in jazz interpretation at Laval University, followed by a Master's degree with the jazz faculty of McGill University. He traveled across Quebec, and many times to France, with the goal of democratizing jazz and bringing this musical genre to the forefront. Influences He did not limit himself to jazz music. In an interview with Radio-Canada, he stated, "I try to listen to as many styles as possible, and above all, I do not want to put up barriers for myself". He listens to pop music, has said that he enjoys the New Zealand singer Kimbra, and when he was younger listened to rock and progressive metal groups, such as Tool, Primus, and Dream Theater. In going from classical music to the more modern jazz fusion, he is able to appreciate and be inspired by many different styles of music.
