About Me

I'm a French singer-songwriter, I write soul and rock 'n' roll songs with French lyrics ! I sing and play the guitar for a living, alone or with my band, I also give guitar lessons. All my time and energy go at the moment in recording, promoting and playing my music. That's hard work but it's a lot of fun !

I want to play music as much as possible, to as many people as possible. Music enables you to connect with people and I would like to sing my songs in as many different places as possible, since it is a great way for me to both work as an artist and travel as a hobby !

What I like best in the job of entertainer is that it enables me to communicate to others my enthusiasm and my passion for life and music, to make them enjoy themselves and have a great time. I used to be very shy as a little kid but music helped and now I don't have that shyness anymore, I love to meet people and get to know them.

I like parties, music, dancing, but I also like a good conversation in a quiet place =)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I learnt about CS via some couchsurfers friends. I immediately loved the idea coz I've always found frustrating, when in a foreign country, to only see tourists and do usual tourists stuff. Being hosted by a local is the best way to learn all about the REAL local stuff. Going the tourist way is also good but I want to check out all the things you can't find unless you live in the place for a while.

Interests

I'm fascinated by the American culture ! music (blues, country, jazz, rock 'n' roll, soul, disco, rap), litterature, dance, food !

I love wandering in the nature. Getting lost in the clouds...

I also read and watch movies and roll around with my skate longboard.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I can play music : guitar and harmonica, and sing along. I know a lot about music theory and history, and I know some good music stories too... And I am always glad to share all this.

But I am also always trying to learn and get new instruments, to make new things out of mine, to discover new musics...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories of France and of my travels, but most of all I can do a private concert for you and your friends and teach guitar, harmonica, singing and cooking French meals !
