Lou Pomonti
Composer, producer, musician, and 3 time Gemini Award nominee, Lou Pomanti is highly respected nationwide as one of the country’s finest musical talents. With over 20 years of credits in scoring, songwriting and performing his expertise has awarded him hundreds of musical projects for film, television and album work.
In 1980, Lou received a call from David Clayton-Thomas asking him to join Blood, Sweat and Tears on their world tour. This kickstarted him into a whirlwind period over the next two decades of playing with a who’s who of the North American music scene, from Anne Murray to Kim Mitchell, from Gordon Lightfoot to Platinum Blonde, from Triumph to Leonard Cohen.
Some of his film scoring credits include HBO-Devine Entertainment’s “Edison: The Wizard of Light” for which he received a Gemini nomination for Best Original Music Score.
Lou has scored six movies in the last five years, including “Bailey’s Billion$”, a theatrical release feature film starring Dean Cain, Jennifer Tilly, Tim Currie and Jon Lovitz. The music was recorded in London, England in February 2005.
Lou is equally at home with an orchestra, a rhythm section or a barrage of synthesizers, and his talents have earned him invitations to work with some of the North America’s best artists and producers, including: Celine Dion, David Foster, Michael Buble, James Horner, Lalo Schifrin, Georges Delerue, etc.
Every year since 2003 Lou has been the Musical Director for the “Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame”. This year Lou received two Gemini nominations for Best Performance and won for his performance of Both Sides Now with Measha Bruggergosman and Kevin Breit.
