He first chose to play drums but quickly changed for guitar . He took to jazz by accident . After a stay in England to improve his English in Cambridge, he crossed the Atlantic Ocean to study at the famous Berkiee Coliege of Music . Baring this American period he scoured scenes and recording studios . Back in France he played with many young French artists than tasted dance music and lyrical fusion .

Pat Metheny and Allan Holdsworth are his favorite references . « I dont like this jazz-fusion label . Let’s say that some of my music is more jazz-oriented , same more rock—oriented . Ii°’s the results cf my personal work: . The guitar links it all together . Heavy loud Funk menuet features Paco Sery (Zawinul syndicate) on drums and Linley Marthe (Zawinul syndicate) on Bass !!
