(Unity, ME) Prince Edward Island's J. J. Chaisson is without any doubt a talented multi-instrumental musician. He has collaborated on award winning recordings, acted as front man for a Celtic rock band, and toured widely as a solo artist. It is not possible to put into words what this young man does with his fiddle and guitar.

Born into the well known and respected Chaisson family helped to immerse J. J. in the world of traditional music from an early age. He began gracing halls and stages across the Island when he was barely able to touch the floor while sitting in a chair; word spread quickly about this young prodigy. When he was just 14 years old he released his first CD. "In the Genes" was a tribute to his two grandfathers. While still in high school, J. J. and his cousins formed the Celtic Rock band known as "Kindle". This group was recognized with a nomination as Best New Group at the 2000 ECMA'S and a nationally televised performance at the awards show. The group traveled widely throughout Canada and into the USA. J. J. served as front man on fiddle and as a vocalist and he continued to astound audiences wherever he performed. In 2002 his second CD was released and entitled "Class Act". This CD again showed his enormous talent on fiddle and introduced his listening audiences to his skill as a guitarist.
