Je suis n.. en C..te d'Ivoire il y a 32 ans, je me suis mis au piano .. l'age de 5 ans, instrument que j'ai d..laiss.. pour aller jouer au foot avec mes potes apr..s 5 ann..es laborieuses pass..es dans la m..me classe de solf..ge. Puis apr..s ..tre sorti de cette p..riode .. combien trouble qu'on appelle adolescence(mais en sortons nous vraiment un jour?) je me suis remis .. la musique.Ayant vite fait le tour de ce que la Fac pouvait ne pas m'apporter, ..'est au Cricketer's , v..ritable temple du Blues en France, que je fis mes classes au piano et en tant que serveur. Puis ce fut le d..part pour La Nouvelle-Orl..ans .. l'age de 25 ans en tant que pianiste de Brian Lee, s..jour dont je ne me suis jamais vraiment remis...................I was born 32 years ago in Ivory Coast. I picked on the piano at the age of 5 but after 5 years spent in the same solfegio course, I decided to quit losing both my time & my parents money. I came back to music around 18, when it seemed obvious that university was not an option, I started working with local blues bands and as a bartender in France most famous bluesclub, "The Cricketer's" in Bordeaux, my hometown. I then left for New-Orleans at the age of 25 after meeting Brian Lee who offered me a job as keyboard player at The Old Absinth Bar on Bourbon St. I picked on the guitar and the harp and started to write my own songs. I've always and always will love Blues but livin' in the Crescent city opened my mind & ears to all kinds of music from Funk to Soul,from Folk to Hip-Hop or even Jama..can beats.. So that's what I try to do, throw it all in the Gumbo and see what comes out. If you like the taste of it..Just let me know!!!
