Jazz guitarist and composer, since 1996 he has had a solo career punctuated by around ten solo albums, which has led him to perform all over Europe (concerts, master classes). His collaborations are many and varied: Michael Manring, Jean-Pierre Como, Tony Macalpine, Mike Terrana… His last two albums are duets recorded on the one hand with the saxophone player Géraldine Laurent - Visitation (ACM Jazz label / 2017), on the other hand with the soprano Melody Louledjian - Chants de l'aube et du soir Klarthe - 2019). He was the educational director of a professional music training space (EF2M Marseille) from 2014 to 2018. Today he continues his career as a musician and teaches regularly at the IMFP in Salon de Provence. To date, he has two publications: a treatise on harmony - Le Grand Espace Tonal (Editions In Nomine - 2019), as well as a manual on "Jazz improvisation" to be published by Delatour in 2021. Today his activity is divided between classical recital (works for lute by J.S BACH), electric jazz trio, and a new duet about Ernest CHAUSSON melodies, in a reinvention style (Nostalgie du Ciel).
