About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm a musician since 20 years, I play percussions, I also compose music for several project.

When I was 14 I travelled with 12 other teenagers on a sailboat. We started our road in France, and the purpose was to go to Erytrea in order to realize interviews with chidren who were born during the war.

Now, I play in a balkan music band with an accordeonist and a clarinettist (Les Roms des foins). I work also with a street theater company (Cie Pipototal).

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in nature and I think that the most important is to enjoy life !
