In 2005, he was laureate of the «  Grands Prix Culturels de Trois-rivières » (Category : « Arts de la scène Louis-Philippe Poisson »).  
 
Instrumentist and accompanist formulas are available on request.

"A true prodigy of the guitar, Sébastien Deshaies amazes us by the spirit and refinement of his play as well as the accuracy of his technique. "
Marie-Claude Giguère (Publi-reportage, Journal "Le Nouvelliste", may 2004)

"With his agile fingers, he caught the public imagination."
Richard Biron (Section Arts et Culture, Journal "Le Nouvelliste", september 2003)
