ABOUT

Hi! I'm MAB (or Marc-André).

Music has been part of my life since I was a wee cub: piano first, then musical theatre. I've sung in choirs since 2015. I joined the Vancouver Men's Chorus in 2019 and, as of 2026, I run sound for the chorus's shows.

I'm an audio nerd at heart. I love the systems side as much as the sound itself: signal flow, network audio, building a patch from scratch, and heading out with a field recorder to capture the world, listening for what many people might miss.

I originally founded HIBEARN8 in 2024 as my own music project, and I'm excited to grow it into a complete audio solutions service.

MUSIC

HIBEARN8, the artist.

“Music is how I tell the stories I see in my mind.”

It started as a practical fix. I wanted small underscores beneath my voice work but could never find royalty-free music that fit. So I taught myself to compose and produce it. I use Ableton Live and Cubase as my primary DAWs, and keep going deeper into synthesis and MIDI.

Ambient, synth-driven music, out now on every major streaming platform.
