CURRENT MISSION

Discover the world. Discover the music.

ABOUT ME

French musician backpacker on the road to anywhere and everywhere.

I come from Montpellier, a beautiful and sunny city in the south of France. Last year I got my engineer diploma and now I'm taking some time to explore this amazing huge world.
I'm also a guitarist/singer songwriter. Therefore I rather have a creative but pragmatic mind.

My will is to play as much music as I can, by busking and performing in bars. I want to travel in the most musical cities in the world, carrying my lovely guitar.
I'm currently working a project called 'Go out of Tune', made to promote the music everywhere in the world.

I'm a really easy going person. I have enough energy to sell in bulk and I'm always up for anything.
The best part in life: meeting. That's how I find my inspiration in songwriting.

Feel free to ask me any question if you want to know more about me! You can find me on Facebook here:

And hit me up if you're coming in Montpellier!

PHILOSOPHY

Everyday something different.
Routine is the enemy of Good.
Living on the edge of your limits.

Music, Movies, and Books

My music influences are rather Pop/Folk/Rock, such as the Arctic Monkeys, Ben Harper, The Rolling Stones, Jack White, The Black Keys, Eagle Eye Cherry, Ed Sheeran, Awolnation, Mumford ans Sons, Of Monsters and Men, One Republic... But I kinda enjoy all types of music, I'm really easy to please.

Movies that make you think (Fight Club, Shutter Island, Inception...), but also (and especially!) The Lord of the Ring, The Hobbit...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Playing music in the streets of San Francisco.
Hiking the mountains of YellowStone.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm pretty good in DIY, I might be able to help you fixing or building something.
I have an engineer diploma in Computer Science, so maybe I can fix a computer problem, give advice about hardware to buy or not...
I'm not the best musician in the world, but I can maybe show you the basics in guitar, piano or drum ?

And I'm French! I love cooking and would love to see how you cook or show you how I do.
