About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Everyday of my life, I just wanna open my mind larger and larger

ABOUT ME

I'm an art lover. My steady job is radio producer for cultural news at the french public radio/television station CBC/Radio-Canada. I work as a soundman too, for radio shows.

And on the side, I'm a musician and filmmaker. I make a lot of photography too. When i've collected enough money, I just wanna discover the world.

I really enjoy going out with friends and meeting people. The people I meet are my source of inspiration and my reason to live. My friends are the most important thing in my life

PHILOSOPHY

Don't miss a chance to have fun!!

I'm quite a relax person who is very curious. My way to learn is to listen to people around me. Art is a good source of philosophy for me, but speaking about philosophy in few words is not so easy. Talking about it around a beer is actually quite nice.
