About Me

Born in 1982 in France. My parents made me start playing accordeon when I was 5 years old. At first I hated it and then, huumm why not. But after that, I hated it again. So I put my ass on a drums' chair and I felt myself in the sky talking to Donny Hathaway. Andre Mallau and Serge Lazarevitch were my teachers in Le Conservatoire de Perpignan and I thank them to have taught me so much in music. They made my ears and my mind open. Now, I'm here, in Belgium, playing with all those great guys... a lot of them became my friends - and that's really good to play and create music. At first, I came in Leuven "just" for this music school, Lemmensinstituut, and I got the hole package : great teachers (Pierre Van Dormael, Dre Pallemaerts), good musicians, good atmosphere, good bier, nice girls...oh oh, bad wheater. Now I'm living in Brussels playing with Egon (my own band, check it out!), DooDooDown, Harakiwi, Manimoen, teaching drums in Leuven and working in Brussels with the Fanfakids. ..
