About Me


Probably one of the worst guitar player of the world, I blips and blops with my computer, I sing loud in the night, and I record the whole shit at the end.
The idea behind is to look for the shortest way from soul to the music, as a spiritual research. I dont need to be good, just need to be true. I'm far from my goal, but I do it every day. My ears are broken.
I've made some nice collaborations as composer and re-mixer with some well known swiss bands "Charlotte Parfois", "Hemlock Smith" and "Girls in the kitchen".
I've also made some intimist shows at Le Ned (Montreux), Rocking Chair (Vevey), Le Bourg (Lausanne), most of them with my friend Joel (Girls in the Kitchen)
I'm very interested in other worldwide musical collaborations since it's very easy through internet. So... dont hesitate to contact me.
I working on an LP since two years with the great collaboration of Arnaud Sponar(Opak-Goodbye Yvan), Julien Grandjean (Opak) and Michael Frei (Hemlock Smith). Not sure it will be published soon...
If you were curious enough to read this bio, just click and listen to "my top friends" Thomas Feiner, Brian Borcherdt, Tidy Kid, Goodbye Ivan, Sean Booth... Most of them are unknown but absolutely and deeply incredible!
