Janovsky
Martin Janovsky
was born in Czechoslovakia 1958. He studied piano and composition
at the Conservatory of Prague before touring Europe extensively
with with his own trio.
After a stint
in 1984 as house pianist in the Le Loiusiana Cabaret in Saint Malo,
France, Janovsky moved to Canada and launched Hipcheck.
Two years later things began to pick up when Janovsky and his band
Hipcheck were asked to be the house band at the Saskatchewan Pavilion
at Expo '86 in Vancouver. While at Expo Martin formed some lasting
musical connections, among them Billy Andrusco and singer Henri
Loiselle.
His association
with both men continued when he returned to home, and performances
with Loiselle and The Billy Andrusco Trio were soon added to his
already busy schedule with Hipcheck.
Throughout his
hectic performing schedule, Martin also made time to compose. He
has written for The Jeux Canada Games, the Grand opening of Saskatchewan
Place, The 1991 Canadian Junior Figure Skating Championships and
the 1992 Saskatchewan Summer Games. He also started Janovsky
Studios to teach and tutor students in Classical and Jazz music.
