Travelling Through Sound
From an early age, traveling has been a fundamental part of my life.
​
Born in Brazzaville-Congo, raised in Pointe-Noire, forced to flee to Europe with my family because of constant civil unrest.
​
A life defined by a perpetual movement.
​
And when that need for movement could not be met, solace would be found in music.
Growing up in a family that celebrated its diverse background on a daily basis was another fundamental point.
While my father loved Congolese music: Koffi Olomidé, Franklin Boukaka or Papa Wemba, my mother introduced me to the Soul classics of Marvin Gaye, Bill Withers and Sadé.
​
Music was always part of the family.
I therefore used all these influences to craft an identity unique to myself and explore more unexpected sonic landscapes on this musical journey.
​
With this in mind, I studied Jazz at The American School of Modern Music in Paris, was a guitar player for Rhys Chatham and his experimental Guitar Trio project.
I then used his guitar skills as a side-musician for french singer-songwriter Peter Lorne during the promotion of his first record Corrado.
After that, I also worked for musicians such as Ambre Dessart and recorded Waves/Erased, french pop-rock band Diamond Fizz's first EP.
​
Keeping up with this need for exploration, I scored scored music for "Rengle: A Man on Heels", a documentary about Romania's first openly LGBTQIA+ superstar.
​
I am now currently working on my first self-produced EP "The Perks of Being an Afterthough", a culmination of all my influences and experiences as well as continuing many activities as an audio professional.
