Dragos Chiriac (a.k.a. Dragos, Dragos Civic, Dragos C.) is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, songwriter, music producer, photographer, director and co-founder of Men I Trust.

He was born in 1989 in Romania and moved to Quebec, Canada at the age of 9. He’s been playing keyboard since a very young age. He finished his bachelor’s degree in philosophy, master’s degree in digital audio production, and started a doctorate in musicology with specialization (Ph.D.) on compression, loudness and mastering, which he dropped in the process and focused on his own projects.

He first met his yet-to-be band member and guitarist Jessy Caron in highschool in early 2000’s, then they ran into each other again at the Laval University and worked on some projects together in 2012-2013, eventually founding Men I Trust in 2014.

Before Men I Trust, his previous projects took place during his University years and helped him gradually develop and improve essential skills as a music producer. These involved: Dragos Civic – Peace & Knowledge in 2012, Dragos C. – Careful in 2013, and finally DRAGOS – Something about a man in the end of 2013.
