In 2006, Marc-Joseph began teaching yoga and meditation in Montreal. He combined various traditions and styles in his classes and had a keen sense of adapting them to the needs of the group. He enjoyed a successful practice which grew to include offering meditation retreats throughout the year.
In 2012, he traveled to California to attend Bhakti Fest, a 4-day yoga and music festival. This transformative event sparked a new flow of inspiration and creativity. He felt compelled to share the sacred chants he had discovered with his students back in Montreal. He courageously brought his guitar to class and started singing mantras. He also mixed in popular rock songs that made his classes a truly unique experience. His energy was contagious and his classes were sought after. He was inspired to adopt the artist name MJ Ganesh and record an album.
In 2015, he released, Birth of Ganesh. Serendipitiously, his daughter was born on the very day he finished recording the album. It imparted a whole new meaning to it and filled him with a sense of wonder and purpose. He started composing new songs and wrote a lullaby for her in his follow up album, Life of Ganesh, in 2018.
MJ has since released 2 more albums: Ascension of Ganesh in 2019 and The Return in 2022. These feature a mix of original compositions and popular covers. While mantras and the theme of awakening figure prominently in this work, MJ is a well-rounded musician with an interest in social issues and personal evolution.
In recent years, he has had the joy of sharing the stage with his daughter. His path of meaning and purpose is reflected holistically in his music. He plays authentically from the heart and inspires others to likewise reconnect with their essence.
