Born in Nice, France, in 1993,
I started my musical studies at the conservatory of Nice, playing cello from the age of 7, switching for electric bass at the at the age of 13 and then for jazz saxophone at the age of 16, for both of which I obtained my final DEM diplomas under the teaching of Jean-Marc Baccarini and Christian Pachiaudi, respectivly in june 2011 and 2013.

I started my musical carreer in the French Riviera's jazz scene at the age of 16,
sharing the stage with great musicians such as Pierre Marcus, Thomas Galliano, Robert Persi, Sebastien Chaumont, Rémi Vignolo, Thomas Delor, or  Jef Roques among many others, performing in venues such as Sunset-Sunside (Paris), La Note Bleue (Monaco), Nice Jazz Festival (Nice), Jazz à Juan (Juan les Pins), Salle Stéphane Grappelli (Nice) and the different jazz clubs of the Fench Riviera.

​

I moved to Amsterdam in 2013 to experience new musical horizons, discovering an international scene as well as starting superior studies at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, from where I gratuated from a double Bachelor degree in both Jazz Saxophone and Electric Bass in june 2017, and from a Master degree in Jazz Saxophone in 2019 under the teaching of amazing musicians and teachers such as Ferdinand Povel, Simon Rigter, Ben van Gelder, Jasper Blom and Dick Oatts.

 

During the time I spent living in Amsterdam, I got the opportunity to integrate the Dutch jazz scene, performing in venues such as the Bimhuis, the North Sea Jazz Festival, Doek Festival, JazzFest Amsterdam, Red Light Jazz Festival, MeerJazz Festival, Storytelling Festival, Zaal 100, Studio K or De Kom.

In March 2019, I obtained the "Best Soloist Price" from the jazz competition "Keep An Eye International Jazz Award", among bands from New York, Basel, Boston, Cardiff, and Amsterdam.

​

Being part of this school gave me also opportunities of meeting the highest level musicians in master classes, such as Mark Turner, Joshua Redman, Barry Harris, Aaron Parks or Jeff Tain Watts, and the chance of participating to Big Band projects featuring some of them, as Alex Sipiagin, Rick Margitza, John Clayton, Bob Mintzer or Dennis Mackrel.

​

Above anything else, it allowed me to discover and meet the great Jimmy Halperin (one of the heaviest "Tristano followers", former student of his and one of the greatest musicians I got to meet) and to start a collaboration with him, writing a book on Lennie Tristano's musical conceptions and teachings.

​

Being established in the Netherlands as well as keeping evolving within the French scene gave me the opportunity to meet musicians from all over the world with whom I got involved in different projects (such as the "Maté Lachegiy Quartet", the "Uldis Vitols Sextet", "Yfillios Project", "Little Oliphant" or subbing occasionally in the "Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw"), as well as the chance to play tours in multiple foreign countries (in addition to France and the Netherlands) such as Hungary, Italy, Greece, Belgium, Spain or South Korea.
