That is one of the reasons why this album is so important for me.</p><p> </p><p>Ever since, I've been working a lot. And now the album is ready to be recorded! It will be sincere, authentic and faithful to who I am musically.</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="Img_6045-1442321548" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/231840/IMG_6045-1442321548.PNG"></p><p> </p><p> </p><p><u><strong>HOW?</strong></u></p><p> </p><p>It's so nice to discover new kinds of music, I've loved to participate to projects of soul, african, hip hop music etc..</p><p> </p><p>But 4 styles really built me musically.</p><p> </p><p>1. Very young, I started to feel a very strong attraction to the <strong>piano</strong>, and I've been only listening to romantic <strong>classical music </strong>for a long time. A few notes on a Steinway makes me fly away!</p><p> </p><p>2. When I was a teenager, I discovered that this sensation can be shared. That's when I fell for <strong>folk music</strong>, its refrains, its <strong>poetry</strong>, its conviviality. What a pleasure to sing together beautiful melodies, beautiful stories.</p><p> </p><p>3. Rebel and <strong>guitar </strong>lover, my friends quickly converted me to <strong>rock.</strong> Its power, its dark sides, its tensions make me feel alive.</p><p> </p><p>4. But all these sensations also exist in <strong>jazz</strong>! And its <strong>elegance and </strong>sophistication never stopped to seduce me.</p><p> </p><p>You will feel this four influences in the album.</p><p> </p><p><img alt="Img_9681-1442320855" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/231832/IMG_9681-1442320855.PNG"></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><u><strong>WHAT?</strong></u></p><p> </p><p>12 songs are ready.</p><p>All of them speak about my experiences, my philosophy. They're very intimate. </p><p> </p><p>It's crucial for me to make music serves the lyrics. The intentions of the musicians have to be at the service of the emotions of the stories. </p><p> </p><p>I want to create a bright universe, sometimes electric, tensed and intense and mostly subtil and aerial.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p><img alt="4005816_orig-1442320050" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/231821/4005816_orig-1442320050.jpg"></p><p> </p><p> </p><p><u><strong>WHO?</strong></u></p><p> </p><p>Among the best jazz musicians from my generation, I've been looking for the one whose music personality will fit to my universe.
