I'm really excited to be finally sharing with you my next album "Aftermath", which will be released in Autumn 2017.

My compositions and playing are influenced by very different elements, from modern jazz to post rock, to African and Latin Grooves, to Indian and Balkan inflection. These influences come from listening to, enjoying and studying very diverse musics, and from my eclectic musical encounters in Paris, Australia and India. And also the sharing of music studios, concert halls and many rehearsals with amazing people and incredible musicians.

With 'Aftermath', I try to blend these elements by making the musical process as natural as possible and to not over intellectualise things. As I go on as a musician, I’d like to deepen this idea of non genre specific music which unifies different musical cultures.'

The album features all original tracks I composed and arranged for my quintet, all of which are inspired by my life and travel experiences, amongst them through India, Europe and Asia and of course Australia.

The process of preparing and recording this new album is an extraordinary musical journey. It brings together two of my greatest inspirations... my existence as an Australian musician in Paris and my love for the natural lifestyle.

My love for the outdoors comes from Australia. I was lucky enough to grow up in it's beautiful landscapes and breathtaking ocean. My passion for music comes from its power to communicate and share what words can not.

My compositions are both urban and yet inspired by the wild expanses of nature. another important inspiration for this album is the tough turning point the world is living today, to that I oppose the evident beauty that is amongst us and around us.

I am joined on this album by my friends and some of Paris' finest musicians: Arno de Casanove on trumpet and keys, Irving Acao on tenor saxophone, Antoine Banville on drums and, Ouriel Ellert on bass.

I’ve been working with them in many different projects over the years, they have given their musicality and heart to make this project happen, and I couldn’t be happier with where we are taking the music.
