Music first of all
Born in 1991, music has always been part of my environment thanks to my grandfather, a self-taught multi-instrumentalist. I learned various musical instruments like the guitar, the clarinet or the harmonica. But I opted for the piano in 2003, by signing up for private lessons. So I have learned at the same time music theory and piano techniques.
In 2013, I started musical arrangement to play on piano my favorite film score composers: Williams, Zimmer, Shore, Herrmann, Horner…
2 years later, I began to write for new instruments, encouraged in particular by Sylvain Fénié. From this moment, my arrangements have included piano, trombone, recorder, guitar, saxophone or french horn. I decided to study and educate myself in orchestration and the relationship between music and image.
In 2016, I discovered computer-aided music, virtual instruments and the possibility to compose for orchestra. That was a revelation for me! I developped my knowledge in orchestration, musical harmony and compositional techniques, while also taking advantage of theoretical knowledge provided by Sylvain Fénié thanks to his teachings at the music conservatory.

Music reveals who we are
Born in 1996, I discovered the world of music including instrumental in an academic intervention in 2006. The same year, I began my musical education at the Montauban conservatory of music to practice and to learn theoretical knowledge, with the trombone as first instrument. Thanks to my musical trainning, I showed a keen interest in orchestral music. I could fulfil this passion as instrumentalist in a number of french orchestras (Orchestre Symphonique Etudiant Toulousain, H2O, L'Orchestre des 3 rivières) thus through participation and supervision of various orchestral workshop (L'Orchestre d'Harmonie Départemental et L'Orchestre Régional d’Harmonie).
2015 is the beggining of new venture with Florent Manzoni, in order to participate in his arrangement projects and I began my apprenticeship of French Horn at the conservatory.
I started to write arrangements and computer-aided composition in 2017, mainly inspired by pop-culture works, japanimation, soundtracks but also pieces by classical or modern composers.
In 2018, I obtained my degree to enter in a specialized trainning in trombone to obtain a diploma of Musical Study.
