ABOUT ME

I'm 26, i live in Montpellier, France, i'm trying to be a professional drummer.
I'm working a lot on african, cuban and brazilian rhythms as a percussionist and a drummer. I'm a kind of curious guy and i love to travel for music, to discover new cultures and new people by this way!

I saw there are a lot of musicians in CS Istanbul so I hope to have nice musical exchanges, jam sessions, etc.. Join me for anything, it would be such a pleasure for me!

I also love nature and mountains and try to never forget this part too! ;-)

Thanks in advance and i hope to have the opportunities to host you back in Montpellier!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is choices. Everyone is building himself and his context of life making choices, at each moment, from start to death!
I make everyday the choice of music, and that's a very hard one, but i'll never stop working until i could be a musician playing his music around the world! ;-)

I'm also a kind of rationalist person, but always open to other points of view, religious, mystic, etc.. even if the "you don't believe you can't see" seems sort of recurent conclusion..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
