Multifaceted Canadian guitarist Borys Franiczek boasts 15 years of professional performance experience in every setting that his musical aptitude has allowed him to explore. His musical journey began modestly at the age of 12 when his parents gifted him an electric guitar and private lessons. Within a few months of possessing a musical instrument, he began learning the art of rhythm guitar at his elementary school’s “Guitar Club.” After playing original music at countless local events as a hometown guitar hero he began earning income playing in a jazz trio at a local pub at the age of 20. This was the same year that he began his musical studies at the York University Jazz Performance program, which he graduated from in 2014.
Borys’ performance ambitions led him to pick up vocabulary from Jazz music to Rock and Soul. This versatility comes out as a unique approach to guitar playing that is both captivating and thought provoking. Tight rhythmic execution and inventive melodic improvisations are at the forefront of his style. These days he keeps himself busy mostly by playing in an original music project, Junestone, and teaching music lessons. Borys is always looking for new opportunities to grow musically.
