Musical background: "I spent 18 years in Gabon (Africa) where I've learnt piano and solfeggio in a private music school since I was 6. 9 years later I decided to stop the piano in order to learn the electric guitar by myself.
When I arrived in Nice in Autumn 2001, I entered a band named Furyo (animetal) in which I met Lionel (first drumer of Krysalyd). One year and a few months later, I left the band for several reasons...
In october 2003, I took singing lessons for one year.
I recorded then all instrumental parts and the backing vocals of the demo "Krysalyd" released the 4th September 2004.
One month after I became guitar teacher at Cagnes-sur-mer music academy.
At the begining of the year 2005, I met the band Eyzen that I joined at the keyboards. With this band we played with the famous Michael Jones in Cannes.
In October 2005, I begin the preparation of the CAPES exam, which will enable me to become a music teacher".
