Coming from Brazil, Gus revealed himself notably with Adagio before joining the band, with whom he expresses his true love for hard rock.
Pat Clapier lead guitar vocals
Co-founder of the band with David, this young guitar player from southern France, greatly inspired by Blues music, spends most of his time composing songs and imagining music videos for the band.
Frederic Geai-Schmitt guitar
Sharing his time with his other band Forgin' Fate, he's been Pat's long-time friend and guitar partner. He also happens to express contagious laughter.
Stephane Nicolas drums
Beyond his singular drumming, his size only balancing out his kindness, Stephane also stands in the band for collecting the most nicknames: Steph, Triple, Bou, Banban, Honest Buddha...
Jerome Courenq bass guitar
The youngest of the family, he learned the bass alongside his left-handed brother and guitarist. He's sharing with the band an everyday adventure of music and friendship when he is not in class studying.
David Shabtai keyboards vocals
All-in-one box of the band, David aka Magik often grabs the pen when he isn't mimicking his friends on their instruments. Passionate about arrangements he is happy to handle production for the band in the studio.

Sounds Like
We have heard a lot of things... from Iron Maiden to Toto to Edguy. The thing is, it will probably sound a little like the music you are most familiar with. The truth is, we try to blend all our personal musical baggage in an effort to make one smooth juice out of it. Hope you like it!
Since November 19, 2008 you can discover rock band Lightseekers’ first album released in Japan and 8 other Asian countries as well as a digital download on your favorite music website. Thanks to a deal with label Avalon, Lightseekers is on its way to shine for you in concert and introduce you to the 12 songs of their album Flying Free.
In the beginning, from Pat Clapier (guitar, composition) meeting David Shabtai (keyboards, production) in 2004, the first songs were cut, fed by some ambitious inspiration and motivation. Joined by Gus Monsanto (vocals), the Lightseekers record their first album, revealing tones ranging from classical to modern at once.
We discover then songs carrying heavy emotions, telling stories of rock ’n’ roll, often supporting politically conscious lyrics. Lightseekers has already shown to attract bigger and bigger crowds at showcases and festivals, spreading their energy and genuine passion for music.
Don’t wait any longer to enter Lightseekers’ universe and share the incredible story of these 6 boys.
