introduction

I’m an Anglo-French jazz pianist/composer/educator with a passion for music and cultures from all over the world. Since graduating from Berklee College of Music, my main focus has been finding my own musical voice and language, and helping other musicians connect to theirs. I've produced several singles, EPs, and albums with my bands Word Out (post-bop jazz fusion) and AfuriKo (African infused jazz duo with Akiko Horii), as well as toured extensively across Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Collaborating with musicians such as David Fiuczynski, Jeff Boudreaux, Chris Jennings, Takashi Sugawa, Ryo Noritake, Nino Wenger, Hiroshi Fukutomi, Mátyás Szandai (may his soul rest in peace), Thibault Perriard, Eddie Parker, Asaf Sirkis, Tomoko Omura, Ravy Magnifique, Dominique Muzeau, and many others... has been a gift I truly cherish, as these encounters and experiences have shaped the musician I am today, enabling me to further my purpose of materializing and sharing the music that comes through. I look forward to connecting with you!
