I started my musical journey at the age of 7 playing the piano, needless to say I hated it! Its not until I was 15 that my parents allowed me to buy myself a guitar for Xmas, so long as it was an acoustic. However was not long before I managed to get hold of an electric guitar following a bet with my father that Jim Courier would win the French Open. So I managed to gather up enough money to buy a BC Rich ronbird! I learnt the guitar on my own reading Metallica tabs and started playing in bands very quickly. Then began a journey of what we can "on and off" playing as I carried on with full time education and moved the UK from France. Its only when I turned 25 that I felt a normal career was definately not what I wanted to do for the rest of my life so I started practising heavily everyday.I took some lessons with Seb Molino from Vitreolic and then his guru Martin Goulding from Linear Sphere.Since then I have played in a number of bands including Metalhead, Hollow Point, Adrenalin (Rock Covers band) and currently with Doom/Death Metal outfit De Profundis who released their debut album in August called Beyond Redemption (www.myspace.com/deprofundisuk)!I am also finishing in December the Higher Diploma in Music Performance at Institute of Contemporary Music Performance (Guitar Institute).Shoi
