About Me

Me, Myself and I

I began playing the flute in 1991. First in a fanfare, then followed the teachings of a classical flutist at the music school of bienne during 6 years. In the year 2000 I began learning saxophone, thus allowing me to play in big bands and other more funky stuff. In 2005, looking back at the project I had been involved in, I decided to become professionnal and so began studiying at the music highschool of Lucern. In 2008 I obtained a Bachelor of arts in music from Lucern's highschool.
