ABOUT TEBO
My name is Paul Tebo. I’m 54 years old, I live in Montreal, and I’m a full-time Musician & YouTuber.
I play shows year-round – solo acoustic, duo, and with my 7-piece roots rock originals lineup Tebo & the Visionaries. I also lead Tebo & the Mercenaries, a talented roster of Montreal’s best session players for private events. I run LV Studios, my private creative production space that’s been home base since 2002. And I document the whole thing here on TeboVision.
THE ROAD HERE
My father was a jazz guitarist who gave up music to get a “real job” and raise a family. I spent ten years working in construction for our family business – learning discipline, work ethic, and what it looks like when someone shelves a dream for responsibility. When the construction industry started fading in the 90s, I was already playing music on the side – blues rock, classic rock, Motown, disco, heavy metal, and eventually an acoustic lineup focused on Montreal’s Irish pub circuit.
Then I chased the safe path. A computer programming certification just in time for Y2K. Pivoted into video game production and spent five years learning game development, localization, publishing, sound engineering, and project management. I loved the work so much that I burned out completely in 2002.
Six months of recovery later, I founded LV Studios – a private production space where I did audio work for international game developers, recorded voice actors from around the world, and eventually transitioned into multi-track music production. That studio is still running today, and it’s where the earliest TeboVision episodes were born around 2005.
Then came the long detour. A part-time favour for a former colleague turned into a 13-year career in corporate systems administration.
Overweight and miserable at 51, I was at the breaking point. So I quit. Built a roster of top-tier professional musicians. Started booking solo, duo, and full band shows – and haven’t looked back.
