About Me

As a teenager, I started learning music at wild metal gigs as the singer/ guitarist band leader. I then felt the need to discover some other musical horizons and decided to study classical and contemporary music at the Conservatoire (I was awarded first prizes in classical guitar, chamber music, musical theory and composition at the Limoges Conservatoire in 2002)Then, I carried on with jazz and improvisation in a very open way with the French guitarist Serge Lazarevitch at the Perpignan Conservatoire and I obtained a first prize in 2005. I met and studied with Wayne Krantz during a stay in New York and in Belgium with Pierre Van Dormael .Since 2003 I’ve been experimenting different ways in composition and improvisation in many bands built up and based on musical sharing and mixing styles out of musical necessity . I work on Free improvisation and sound textures mixing contemporary music and metal/indi rock energy and sounds and also work on melody in modern jazz bands with a strong Pop rock colors.Self recording and producing all of my recordings since 2005 (album « Next Door » with AZAD 2006) , I also worked on post production and mixing the record of the bassist Stephane Furic withChris Speed Chris Cheek and Lee Konitz for E.S.P records (N.Y.C)I met and played with Eric Barret and Jim Black.
