“Music has always been in the center of my child life. I started to play guitar with an argentinian teacher at 5 and Flute at the conservatory at 8. My parents were listening a lot of cuban and south american music on top of french classics like Serge Gainsbourg, Nino Ferrer. They took me very young to salsa clubs in Paris to see artists like Celia Cruz or Ruben Blades, they always told me that I was sleeping on the chairs while they were dancing until the sunrise.”






 

 

How was your introduction to music and what is your background as a musician?

I come from a family of musicians, my grandfather was a clarinetist of jazz and my father is a guitarist. Music has always been in the center of my child life. I started to play guitar with an argentinian teacher at 5 and Flute at the conservatory at 8. My parents were listening a lot of cuban and south american music on top of french classics like Serge Gainsbourg, Nino Ferrer. They took me very young to salsa clubs in Paris to see artists like Celia Cruz or Ruben Blades, they always told me that I was sleeping on the chairs while they were dancing until the sunrise. At 11, my godfather offered me a tape of Nirvana/Nevermind and it has been my first revolution, then I continued digging and felt totally in love with indie stuff and later with electronic music.
