JP Fleury hails from Montreal, Canada, where he graduated with a Music Diploma from Cegep de Drummondville, and later in 2007 he extended his music studies at Humber College in Toronto.

As a young adult, JP’s first major performing experience was as a saxophonist at The Montreal International Jazz Festival which propelled him into a busy music career. He travelled the oceans for a decade as a show band leader playing sax, clarinet and flute on luxury cruise ships for the Holland America Line.

In 2010, JP made the transition from leading the band, to performing as a headline act with his wife, Sally Maer, as ‘The Fleurys’. The couple were invited to perform as guest entertainers on the world’s top cruise lines including performances on the Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth, with JP arranging the duo’s music for both performing and recording.

On arriving back in Australia, The Fleurys took their duo show all over the clubs of NSW including Campbeltown RSL, Mingara RSL, Everglades Country Club, Bankstown RSL and Petersham RSL. The couple also embarked on a tour of Queensland performing in all the major Theatres including Twin Towns Resort and Empire Theatre as a guest act for “Back to the Tivoli” productions run by Wayne Cornell from the Australian vocal harmony group ‘The Delltones’.

 JP has performed live on ABC radio, as a guest at Lizotte’s and played principal sax in the Sydney International Orchestra. He played for Jenifer Green’s Shirley Bassey show and took part in a special performance at Sydney’s “Foundry 616” for visiting French singer Patricia Segui.

As a recording artist, JP has appears on the No.1 Classical Aria album “Celtic Cello” produced by ABC Classics which is aired frequently on Classic FM, as well as having transcribed and adapted parts for their “Cello at the Opera” album. JP has recorded for “The Voice” finalist Alex Gibson at Crash Symphony Productions in Sydney, and performed on Scottish country hall of fame singer, Jackie Storrar. He was also involved in a special recording of music written by Joshua Redman with Canadian superstar drummer, Emmanuelle Caplette.

From 2013-2020, JP was co-founder of ‘The Fleurys Music School’. As a dedicated teacher, it was JP’s long term dream to have his own thriving teaching practice, passing on his love of music to the next generation. Committed to introducing families who are new to music, he also co-created ‘Maestro Possums’ which offered pre-school classes. As a trained Kindermusik teacher, JP ran these classes for parents with babies and children up to age four.

JP has taught the saxophone at the Central Coast Grammar School, Green Point Christian College and woodwind teacher for the Central Coast Conservatorium Schools’ Program. He now teaches at a school in the Maitland region and is so happy to be available on Saturdays for students at Music Works in Erina.
