About Me

English
Son of a Janis Joplin fan and of a Beatles fan, I was born in 1976 (like Anarchy). I started playing some guitar at 13 and drums at 16. I've played in various heavy metal bands as a drummer (especially Cerebral and Sickblast). I've been writing songs (or should I say hearing voices) for most of my life, and I finally started this "solo" project in 2003 recording my first EP "The Pantagram", followed in 2005 by the lo-fi experiment "The Philosopher's Stoned". Since 2004 I sing in the power-prog metal band Slain. The third solo chapter, entitled "Coup De Foutre", was released in June 2007 and features 6 brand new songs, each in two different versions. See my blog section for a complete list of reviews from the web and a full discography.
