Depuis mes premiers accords à la guitare j’ai toujours composé. Aujourd’hui mes compositions sont dans 2 styles différents : Jazz & Bossa Nova, et Pop.
Bref, j’apprécie autant la composition riche en harmonie du Jazz que la recherche sonore que l’on peut trouver dans l’électro.
Certaines de mes compositions sont signées chez Warner Jazz et apparaissent sur des compilations aux côtés de Diana Krall, Norah Jones, Bebel Gilberto…d’autres chez Defected et autres Labels.
Sur scène je suis aux côtés de Marie So depuis des années avec des concerts en France, Italie, Pologne, Crête, Japon, Brésil, USA…
L’enregistrement en studio et la M.A.O (Musique Assistée par Ordinateur) font parties de ma vie de musicien.
J’ai participé à l’enregistrement en tant que guitariste, mais aussi en tant qu’ingénieur du son de plusieurs albums, dont ceux de Marie So, Jerk House Connection, Brazilian Urban Project, et d’autres…certains aux côtés de Joao Bosco et les musiciens de Sting et Gilberto Gil.
Je suis aussi l’auteur d’une méthode sur la M.A.O, Home Studio et de la méthode de guitare Guitare Kiné, toutes deux disponible sur l’iBook Store.
