About Me

Begins acoustic guitar at 14. Principally self-taught, he studies briefly with Pierre Cullaz at the CIM (1991) then with David Patrois (vibraphonist) at the conservatory before his encounter with René Gély, Canadian guitarist, in 1992.
His attraction for traditional indian music, as well as contemporary music drives him to explore the guitar under different forms, acoustics to midi guitar, while going through scalloped and fretless necks.
He plays in several formations such as Sweatlodge (Manu Joulia, Hubert Dupont, Norbert Lucarain), also collaborates with Antonin Stahly Vishvanada (violin), Stéphane Jany (drums), ... and produces himself in several Parisian clubs (New Morning, Opus Soul & Jazz Club, ...). He is musical director on several broadcasting projects and events and also composes music for films, jingles (Chanel, La Quinzaine des Réalisateurs, Festival of Deauville, ...)
