Born in 1975 in La Tronche, he made a name for himself at a very young age, notably joining the Carla Bley Big Band and collaborating with Anne Pacéo, Vincent Peirani, Gaël Faye, and 20syl. He has released several albums as a leader or co-leader, including "Les Âmes Perdues" (2016) and "Les Correspondances" (2020), and more recently "Mères Océans" in 2024, a project blending acoustic and electronic elements that was very well received by critics. His current projects also explore original artistic encounters, such as the duo with drummer Ziv Ravitz around "Warp & Weft". A recognized artist, he was honored with a Victoire du Jazz in 2020 and continues to perform regularly on European jazz stages.
