I am an upbeat and skilled performer. I'm the perfect ice breaker for a cocktail hour.
I cheer up an audience with playful numbers and switch genres to fit the atmosphere and the client's needs.
With my strong Jazz background, I am at ease with the American Songbook. As a French native, I bring variety and authenticity to the French repertoire (Edith Piaf, Brigitte Bardot). I also like to surprise my audience with great Latin numbers (Spanish and Portuguese).
I am a French-born Los Angeles resident.
I spent my formative years transcribing jazz guitar arrangements and solos from recordings. I took a 6-week course at the C.I.M. Paris, and attended one year at I.M.F.P. Salon de Provence, specialized in Jazz.
I led small Jazz ensembles in New York, and performed regularly for receptions held at the French Embassy. Since relocating in Los Angeles, I have been booked as a solo singing-guitarist for an event hosting Taylor Swift and Jamie Lee Curtis.
I am also a composer. My tribute song to Marseille ‘Adieu Massilia’ was featured in Parts Unknown - Anthony Bourdain, as well as ‘La Prossima Vittima’ (Michael Ruffino) for which I contributed a vocal jazz.
I have my own gear:
- A Yamaha guitar and a Fishman amplifier
- Microphone and microphone stand
- Guitar and microphone cables
- Guitar stand
