Biography: An accordionist from Poitiers, he began playing shortly before his 20th birthday and has continually sought out diverse experiences to understand and enrich his phrasing and groove through a wide range of repertoires. His focus remains on discovering what, in musical and dance movement, in gesture, will give form to a particular dance. After 20 years of adventures, reflection, and the joy of exchange, the journey is still only just beginning.
