About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Hot Graphics

Coming from an artistic background, I started studying musical theory (solfege) and violin (in a Musical School) at the age of 6. Then aged of 12, I took another direction and learned Keyboard and Jazz. For about 10 years, I was in several bands playing the greatest standars.
In 1997, I met Claude MARTY with who I played in lots of concerts and recorded 2 albums LIVE (in which I also arranged the songs).
In 2003, I met Greg BONDO (drummer of Lokua KANZA). I became the keyboard player of his group. From there, I joined the group AFRICAN SOUKOUSS of Buffalo KAWONGOLO whose the sound engineer is no one else than Lee « Scratch » PERRY(Bob MARLEY, Jimmy CLIFF). I played in many concerts, festivals and on tours by the side of musicians accompanying Youssou N'DOUR, Manu DIBANGO, Laurent VOULZY, Mory KANTE and Bernard LAVILLIERS .
In 2005, the group changed name to SAKAWEY and recorded the album TOBELELA. An unforgettable concert was filmed in Rennes.buffalo version longue
In 2007, I became the artistic director of a Rock Opera called "Agapanthe, the country of the end of earth", written by Claude MARTY. I composed a few titles of this musical fresco of which the action is taking place at the end of the 19th century in Paimpol at the time of the fisher-men of Island. Jacques Weber recorded the 3 off voices of the show.
Since 1999, I have assured the musical part of the Theatrical Improvisation Matches (France, Italy, Quebec, Canada, France Championships...)
