I grew up near La Rochelle in France and began as a rock guitar player in pub bands. Eventually I moved to Paris and worked in studios (mainly dance music or hip hop) as an arranger and co-composer.

I've studied Moroccan music and worked with the local musicians of Marakkecs. I've also travelled much to Africa and around Eastern European countries like Romania.

I now work for Shockwave-Sound, corporate video and documentaries, and sometimes as an attending or arranger composer. I'm also working on a pop album as composer, with a French record company.

I am a fan of Bruce Springsteen, Jonas Hellborg, Ravi Shankar, Bach, Terje Rypdal, AC/DC and David Gilmour. (a strange list, but I love music). I'm 45 years old, married with 3 children.

Franz Peter Schubert
January 31, 1797 – November 19, 1828

Franz Peter Schubert’s work, while not particularly valued during his lifetime, has since been recognized as a master of the Romantic era. His writing was respected for its glowing melodies and harmonies, both of which Schubert employed with mastery in multiple classical music genres.

His first exposure to music came at home, then later studied singing at the Convict court, where he also tried composing. His talents were recognized as formidable, however, his voice broke, halting his career. He taught as a schoolteacher (which he despised) while composing at night. He eventually abandoned his job to teach music privately. He wrote and self published but saw little success.

Slowly his pieces were featured in opera houses, and received enthusiastically. He continued to struggle, however, and his health suffered. He died in 1828.

Notable works:
Incidental Music to Rosamunde
Moments Musicaux for Piano
Piano Sonata #21
Quintet in A
Symphony #5 in B-flat Major
Symphony #8 in B Minor, Unfinished Symphony
