ICO94 to compete at Tiohtià:ke talent show
Although Beauvais has performed on stage on multiple occasions before, this is his first time competing in a talent show like Monnaie Money, where he will compete against 22 other artists for cash prizes and attention from the city’s music community.
It would be nice to win, Beauvais said, but that’s not the be-all and end-all on Saturday.
“As long as I know I gave it my best out there, then nothing else matters,” said Beauvais.
Even with many performances under his belt, overcoming the nerves he feels before he hits the stage is still something he’s working on.
“It’s the buildup, the anticipation that makes you nervous, that makes you feel anxious. I have to conquer that, battle that all the way up until I’m performing,” said Beauvais.

“It’s almost like a doubt, feeling almost like ‘what the heck am I doing here?’ But once you start playing, it’s like, ‘I got this, this is normal, I practiced this,’ so it all goes away after you start performing.”
Tickets to see Beauvais at the show, which starts tomorrow, February 28, at 7 p.m., can still be found on Monnaie Money’s Facebook page.
