Bio.
Short
stories are best: (if
bored play with the ball )
I am French,
I was born and raised in Paris and I now live in SANTA MONICA.
I studied music at the Paris conservatory when I was a kid. I came to Los
Angeles early Eighties after a couple of bad recording deals in France and
a lot of "BS" hoping for a change ??? Anyway...
I did put together 6 Bands:
THE DEANERS (punk
deluxe)
SHADOW BANISTER (pop rock)
ZAVE (Solo project, POP with Rock flare)
JUST LIKE THAT (funk pop)
HEADSANDWICH (heavy funk-ROCK )
SAHA LOOP EXPERIENCE (pop electronica)
I
was the proud owner of a recording studio called "Eurosound" in
the early 90's in North Hollywood where I produced tons of different stuff,
but you know what? That was yesterday. Let's talk about the present ... and
the future.
Present: I am a Pro Guitarist and Bass player and lately I developed
a real taste for Hand Drumming, EX Musician's union member ( ooops, I forgot
to pay my dues), I read some, I produce well, I use Cubase, Wavelab, Acid,
PC software(I am still European I guess)... I am a sound engineer.
Too much BLABLA, let's move on.
Future: I am here for a good time, working with "real talents"
and producing great music... BOTTOM LINE...
NOW I am older
and I am more soulful, I play BLUES mainly
(SRV and Hendrix are still my favorites), most
of the other guitar playing styles come from BLUES anyway, I can't go wrong,
I don't play fast anymore (well, sometimes), I try to play right. Then
if you play Country,
Pop, Rock
(not heavy metal
I am so done with that!),
Funk, R&B,
even Disco...
Whatever, if it is good, I am in! ... If it ain't FUN, I ain't doin' it!
