About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Playing guitar and singing with you on a couch!

ABOUT ME

What I do those days: thinking about having a gab year and travelling, thinking about having a dinner with my girlfriend, thinking about finding a job in cinema, thinking about writing an animation script, waiting for the beginning of the hockey playoffs, playing guitar in a party, having beers with friends and roommates, planning a big trip to Asia, South America or Iceland, trying to find time to watch movies, going to concerts, listening to Interpol, Wolf Parade and The Kooks, learning spanish, wondering if people want to host me this summer, thinking about how i could end this with something that rocks but letting it like this.
