Double Bass, Bass and BabyBass

About Me

I was born in France in 1979.
I play the electric bass since I'm 15 and the double bass since I'm 20.
Basically a self taught musician. I try to mix all my cultural influences in my work.
I come from a south american music tradition by my family but I've allways been interested in a lot of jazz styles, and I'm now performing with Ritary Gaguenetti , Fayçal Salhi , my father: Ricardo Torres , and some other bands.
I've recorded 13 albums for several bands or artists.
I'm now preparing my own musical project, and I hope I'll have recorded my own cd project until being 30...
