Marc Larochelle

Born in New Hampshire (USA) and moved to California in 1991 having graduated with a Music Business Degree from the University of Massachusetts. My instrument was the Alto Saxophone but always loved keyboards more! Started as an intern with NAMM (the National Association of Music Merchants) in Carlsbad California.

From there started my own software development company called "Productive Computing" as my day job but kept playing keyboards in various original rock bands since high school.

In 2017 I started the YouTube channel called "My Keys To Music" which focuses on people who are looking to use Nord keyboards or who already use Nord keyboards and they want to master them. I also like building and leading a community of like-minded musicians with a passion for keyboards and great music.
