Né en 1973, Gwen a passé son enfance à La Baule. Un endroit réputé pour avoir la plus grande plage d'Europe sur la côte Atlantique et de nombreux endroits tendances. La musique le fascine dès son plus jeune âge; bien plus qu'un plaisir à ses yeux, symbole de la vie et de l'amour entre les humains. Il se demande très vite comment il pourrait sauter dans le train; ce qui l'amène à jouer dans des fêtes locales privées avant de partir au Luxembourg, où il élargit sa palette d'influences, obtenant sa première résidence dans un club, au Rosegarden. Le grand virage pour Gwen s'opère lorsque Sylvie Chateigner connue pour être l'organisatrice des fameuses soirées TGV à Paris, fait appel à lui, aux côtés de DJ Grégory, Bob Sinclar et DJ Yellow.
Il devient le DJ résident de la Villa La Grange à la Baule en 2000, un endroit parmi les plus prisés qui lui vaut une attention croissante auprès du public, jouant également dans de nombreux autres endroits comme le Rex Club, Maxim's, le Cab et le Queen. Continuant à allonger la liste des endroits qu'il écume derrière les platines, Manchester, Leeds, New York, Barcelone, Zagreb, Londres, Paris, il signe par ailleurs une série de mixes hebdomadaires sur la radio web, VMIX.FR.
Affinant son style, c'est là qu'il se lance dans la production, faisant l'acquisition de sa première boîte à rythmes avec, à l'esprit, les travaux de Todd Terry et Kenny Dope, quintessenciels à ses yeux.

Suffisamment de raisons pour lui donner l'envie d'aller plus loin dans l'établissement de sa griffe en tant que producteur et travailler actuellement sur de nouveaux morceaux.

Born in 1973, Gwen grew up in La Baule, a place made famous for having the biggest beach in Europe and trendy hangouts on the West Coast of France. He almost felt in love with music at his tenderest age ; the latest being more than a mere pleasure for him, as the symbol of life and harmony between beigns. He soon started thinking about the way he could join the party which led him to spin at some local private parties before going to Luxembourg where he broadened the range of his musical affinities, having his first nightclub residency at the Rosegarden. The big turning point for Gwen happens when Sylvie Chateigner doing the famous TGV parties in Paris, asks him to be on board alongside DJ Grégory, Bob Sinclar and DJ Yellow.
In 2000, he becomes the resident DJ of Villa La Grange, a trendy house club in La Baule and starts getting the attention of the crowd, spinning in numerous places such as Rex Club, Maxim's, le Cab and le Queen, going from strength to strength. Expanding the list of places he would drop the beats at, incl. Manchester, Leeds New York, Barcelone, Zagreb, Londres, Paris, to name but a few, he also drops weekly mixes on web radio VMIX.FR.
Then, refining his style, he began production work, buying his first drum machine having in mind the works of Todd Terry and Kenny Dope who he considers as quintessential for him.
