I spent 1 year traveling across Mississipi from Chicago to Louis Ville, Memphis, Nashville, New Orleans & Austin, learning about Black American Music, Rythms & Spirit

​

I started Traditional Jazz Studies at Lyon music Conservatory as a drummer

during 3 years. And I got back to practice piano & harmony exercices as younger.

​

In the middle, I took a nice break. A 3 month trip  travel in Brasil at Rio de Janeiro, Salvador & Recif Carnaval and Sao Paulo.

There I played with the fabulous Vitor Gonzalvez , his friends of TFT, then Casuarina met at a concert, Gilberto Gil for a moment in Salvador, whithout forgetting the great  musicians from the great Spok Frevo Orchestra,

and many more.

I took some Frevo & Maracatu lessons with Marcos Olivera there drummer. And back to Rio with the maestro Nene & the great Marcio Bahia

Marcio is left hand like me, but he playes on left. Is very very musical (check out).

​

At the end of the year, I was accepted at Villeurbanne World Music School for one year and a half. There I learned the basics of AfroCuban Tradition with the cuban maestro Isel Rasua, plus some North African Rythms & Flamenco (even dancing!)

​

I've been studing for 6 month "Tumbadora y Claves" @ Santiago de Cuba Conservatory with Wilfredo Fuentes (Eliad Ochoa, Familia Valera,... one of the most request there). I also worked with the "Banda de Santiago" (picture)

​

I spent two weeks in La Havana with the great Rodney Baretto (Havana de Primera) Oliver Valdés (mucha gente...) y Samuel Formell (Los VanVan)

Back home I starded Montpellier Music Conservatory with the amazing Serge Lazarevitch (french guitar player) during two yearss.

I learned modern jazz & particularly odd metrics.

​

Then I challenged myself moving to  Paris, France

I learn a lot about my loved instruments, position, industry, precision and professionalism.

​

I studied Palo Alto & Team Building Coaching at Sorbonne University, because I understood that accompaniment is alredy in my blood since I was young

In general, I like to make sure I'm getting up transmitting

​

​

This last month I was in Madagascar doing gigs, learning Malagasy & Indian Ocean very surprising rythms (+ incidently diving & kitesurfing).

After I had the opportunity to coach young musical talents before their national booked tour. And finally I helped regular schools for disadvantaged saphire cities.

​

There I played a couple of concerts with the most popural artists of Madagascar; I'm talking about Teta (south) + the amazing family Monika, Dozzy & Maximin N'Java (Antananarivo & Wildworld)./picture/
