About

I come from Nice, France, from hispanic origins, and I live in Quebec since 2001.

A music passionate since early teenage years, my musical knowledge was first acquired through extensive private lessons, then self-taught. For ten years, I have been fully dedicated to my career as a professional guitarist, adding several types of music to my background, from jazz to funk to reggae, etc., although rock always remained my main influence.

I played in different configurations, from solo artist to big orchestras. I could explain my path in detail, but I prefer letting the music speak for itself.

Weither I get up at dawn or go to sleep at dawn, the music I create is intended to be as authentic as I am, oscillating between silence and chaos, and oriented toward an artistical ideal of freedom and infinity. I feel like some sort of sensor who reflects his perception of the world. One of my main objectives is to create a strong relation between words and music, so that they can feed each other and become united as one entity.
Without music, life would be a mistake
(Friedrich Nietzsche)

Enjoy the music!

Je suis français (de Nice) d'origine hispanique et Québécois d'adoption depuis 2001.

Passionné de musique depuis l'adolescence, j'ai fait mon apprentissage musical en autodidacte et par des cours privés. Je me suis consacré, pendant une dizaine d'années, au métier de guitariste. J'ai pratiqué beaucoup de styles pour élargir mon champ de connaissance notamment le jazz, le funk, le reggae, etc. Néanmoins, le rock sous toutes ses coutures reste ma principale influence.

J'ai joué dans différentes formations (de solos à grands orchestres). Je pourrais détailler mon parcours, mais je préfère penser que ma musique parle d'elle-même.

Debout très tôt ou veillant jusqu'à l'aurore, je façonne la musique en étant le plus authentique possible, entre le silence et le chaos, m'appliquant à l'idée que je me fais d'elle : libre et infinie. Je me sens comme un récepteur qui véhicule sa perception du monde qui l'entoure. J'essaie de construire une corrélation étroite entre le texte et la musique, afin qu'ils puissent à mes yeux et mes oreilles, devenir indissociables.

Sans la musique, la vie serait une erreur
(Friedrich Nietzsche)

Bonne écoute!
