I come from Lausanne a small town of Switzerland not far from Geneva and the lake Leman. I had the chance to have a mother who pushed me to make music very early. Around nine years, I began classical guitar lessons. I m 38 now, so it is clear, I have had a little time to experiment! As soon as I had a guitar in my hands, I never ceased composing of the pieces. It is vital for me. I had the chance when I was small to make choruses for a group that did individual "Pop Music" in Montain Studio, the studio of Queen in Switzerland. It is what undoubtedly began my passion for the music. Until 14 years, I started to play of the guitar and to sing in groups of metal and Hard FM. Around 16 years, first concerts and recordings. I liked to record very much, it became my second passion. Then, in the Nineties, some CDs and mini-tours in Switzerland with several groups. After that, I decided to study again. I practiced two years of teaching guitar, and it was cool. During these studies I continuously played with other bands. I started to learn how to play of the drums, the bass, the piano and keyboards and even of the saxophone. I have always been a huge fan of Yngwie J. Malmsteen. I worked much in this style (neo-classical-shred) alone or with other impassioned musicians. I never ceased composing of the pieces. In all the styles: from classic to metal, even funk and jazz. I constantly followed the evolution of the material concerning the guitar and the home studio. Then, I impassioned myself for the home studio on computer. I started to build a small studio with Cubase. That was a revelation. Anymore would be impossible! At the same time, my private life was upset" by a marriage and the birth of two children. My work in teaching took up an enormous amount of time. I play guitar in a choir too. All this slowed down my activities on the level of the music. For one year, I have started again to compose enormously of pieces and to place them on various sites on the Web. It was in this way that I had a revelation. By hearing the voice and the talent of Amber,I immediately proposed to her a collaboration. When I heard Ambers voice and understood with whom I had to make, I said myself that there was something very interesting to do. That did not miss: as of the first piece on which we collaborated, she showed an immense talent for writing and composition, a very good ear for the piano and a superb voice... Broken September was born! From 2006 to 2008 we recorded 14 songs.
Our first album is ready now! ;)
