About Me



I started drums when I was 6 years old in my small village in the south of France called "Ille-sur-Tet". In this village I went to a musicschool to learn the basics ..My Father had a variety of Lp's from Bob Marley , Baroque, The Message , M.A.R.S , The Police, Marvin gaye, Serge Gainsbourg ... Then , around 11 years old , I went to the conservatory of Perpignan (the big city in south of France) where I met throught all the years André Mallau (drumteacher Thanks to You) , Serge Lazarévitch (Combo teacher who openned my "mind") Xavier Lopez (Le Xav) , Brice Lita (where I learned "Assassin" this great song) .... I had my diploma of technique de la batterie and then I went with Xavier Lopez in the conservatory of The Hague (NL) I met a lot of people there Serge Rogalski , Quentin Sirjacq , Amel Eiland , Marc Neyen , Zlatko Baracskai , Jean Marie Goupil... I'd quit this place one year ago after not feeling it anymore .. I have for the moment one Band 'Amel Eiland & the Elevation" where we play compositions from Amel Eiland (Detroit) . I've always listened to a lot of different music , different styles (Jazz , Free Jazz , Electro , House , Funk , Soul , Drum&Bass , Hip Hop , Rock ..... I came in the world of "Minimal" (I don't like to class music in style but just to get to the idea) when I Listened for the first time Plastikman late morning after a squat party with Mark Dingli a.k.a Specs (dj & soon producer) and Marc Neyen a.k.a Marcus (trumpet & producing). then I got myself some minimal culture discovering other artists ... and from The Hague moved to Amsterdam with Specs and Marc Neyen . Amsterdam , a city where there's a lot more happening than in the Hague . So let's say that our place is bleepy , clicky with electronic sounds eveywhere , trumpet , djset , drumset ....
