Jared David St. Laurent (born on January 31, 1983 in Miami, Florida), better known as Mister Saint Laurent, is a performance artist primarily focused on professional wrestling and music. While Mister Saint Laurent is an active wrestler, he is recognized more for his work as a commentator and matchmaker. As Jared David, he can be heard doing commentary on the DVD releases from Ring of Honor (ROH) and Full Impact Pro (FIP).
His great-grandfather, Louis St. Laurent, was the twelfth Prime Minister of Canada from November 15, 1948, to June 21, 1957. Mister Saint Laurent's exploits as a professional wrestler are often covered by the Canadian media due to being related to such an important figure in Canadian history. Mister Saint Laurent has yet to compete in or even visit his homeland of Canada.
Mister Saint Laurent is also a classically trained concert pianist and prefers the piano as his main songwriting tool. In addition to the piano, Mister Saint Laurent can play guitar, bass, or drums, but spends most of his energy on vocal performance and lyric writing. Mister Saint Laurent bills himself as a Fighting Artist and has been known to explore many avenues of performance, including working as a juggling street performer and as a Slam poet.

[edit] Wrestling career
"The Most Important Man Alive" Mister Saint Laurent trained at Duke Droese's Wrestling Academy in Hialeah, Florida in 1999 before accepting a job with the Future of Wrestling (FOW) to be their event coordinator. In 2002, Mister Saint Laurent started working for Major League Wrestling (MLW) as a local promoter and continued to do so until they closed up shop in 2004. After years of working behind the scenes and as a manager, Mister Saint Laurent began wrestling in 2003 and frequently teams with close friend Chasyn Rance. In 2004, they formed Team Vision, a group that also includes Larry Zbyszko and So Cal Val. On June 26, 2004, Mister Saint Laurent won the SCW Florida Heavyweight Championship from Vordell Walker and made 7 successful defenses before vacating the title on August 29, 2005. In early 2006, Full Impact Pro (FIP) hired Mister Saint Laurent to join Dave Prazak on their commentary team and Ring of Honor (ROH) followed suit later in the year.
[edit] Music career
After beginning his wrestling training, Mister Saint Laurent joined the South Florida based jam band Dogjam as their keyboardist. Dogjam quickly developed a devoted cult following after a series of wild live performances in the Fall of 1999. Mister Saint Laurent left Dogjam in 2000 and founded The Chernobyl Beach Party with other former Dogjam members. The new band featured Mister Saint Laurent as the lead singer and expanded on many of the comedic elements found in Dogjam's music. In 2002, Mister Saint Laurent moved to Orlando, Florida and began working as a solo artist. He released If People Could Think at the end of 2003. The 4 track EP proved to be very popular and all 500 copies quickly sold out. Before the record could be reissued, Mister Saint Laurent was hired as the vocalist for the Titusville, Florida based Profitdead and put his solo career on hold. Profitdead made their live debut early in 2006 and also released The Prisoner as a digital download. Scheduling conflicts ended the project shortly after.
