About Me

Hey everyone! People I know, people I don't yet! My whole life is about music...
To make a long story short, I'm french, living in Paris, I'm 34 years old...

From the age of 8 to 18, I was living in California (Hollywood), my father being a music producer for people like Stevie Wonder, EarthWind&Fire...

That's how I got the virus of production...

Back in Europe in 1993, I started working for an international leisure group called "Juliana's", as a DJ...

... Four years of travelling to HongKong, Cairo, Casablanca, Taiwan etc., mixing my head off!

When I came back, I decided to live off my own music, and was fortunate to sign my first record deal with BMG France, among their top developing artists...
I learned all about the french industry at that time.

After a while (skipping many details), I realised the weaknesses of a major record deal, and decided to go Indie...

Ever-since, I've been focusing on finding new platforms, and markets for my music, ultimately wanting to produce for afro american artists.

So far, I've worked with people like
Bruno Gerantes, Varda Kakon, Iona Azoulay, Xavier Lhoest, and the "Local" Bmg crew in 1999/2002...
Winston McAnuff
"the Shugarhill Gang"(in club)
Matt Moerdock
Intik
La Fonky Familly (on stage)
Melaaz
Brooklyn FunkEssentials (on stage)
Alpha Blondy (on stage)
L'Orchestre National De Barbès (on stage)
Youss
Sinsemillia (on stage)
Cheb Mami (on stage @ Bercy)
Takfarinas (remix)
Reevox (remix)
Ali Mitchell (remix)
Shaman Vibes
Godfrey Peeda
and many others I can't think of right now...

Now, with Nikodems, we've started a new production company, that brings to the eyes and ears the rising talents of our "mixed culture"...

Get ready for:
Mr Pink & Mr Brown...
