Few modern day popular music artists are as all-genre encompassing as Polychuck.

Already a guitar virtuoso by the age of only 13, Montreal artist Polychuck is now an innovative and ever-maturing singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer and high profile guitar coach Polychuck keeps his roots firmly planted in his hometown's rock and metal scenes while possessing a musical curiosity to embrace a wide variety of genres ranging from progressive metal to electro-pop, with ventures in alternative indie rock and urban trap beats.

Now going back to his roots with brand new single 'HERO' Featuring Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater, Sons of Apollo) Polychuck aims to take his music to a whole new level and leave an undeniable, lasting legacy of his own in the realm of progressive & alternative rock.

Polychuck's fascinating musical and personal journey is chronicled in singles such as 'Nailed to the X', a celebration of the artist's straight edge lifestyle hailed by numerous blogs, including B-Sides and Badlands.

The multi-talented Polychuck played, produced, recorded and mastered everything that you hear on the EP, and has amassed an impressive arsenal of instruments that he utilized – a Suhr Modern (desert gradient finish) on all tracks (solos), Guerilla 7 string hand built in Canada (dark cyan finish) on 'In the Dark,' or his LTD EC-1000 (white) on all tracks except 'In the Dark.'

Additionally, Polychuck has been training in MMA and Muay Thai for 4 years. He has never competed in major pro level fights, but he does participate in some underground (so-called "smokers") fights. These fights are not officially legalized, but rather in a grey zone. Polychuck also teaches guitar professionally, including to some established players in established bands.

With most modern artists sounding quite one-dimensional, predictable, and same-sounding as their competition, the hard-to-pin-down Polychuck is a most welcome arrival on the music scene, as heard throughout his music.
