BIOGRAPHY
Born in a musician family, I have grown up in the musical world and atmospherre since my early childhood.
I started playing Classic Piano from 3 to 18 years old and then started Clarinet and Tenor Sax.
I have had the chance to start playing Jazz with my Dad's Jazz Band for my beginnings in the 1970's, surrounded by all musicians from this generation who had heard, discovered and imported Jazz music in France.
