About Me (MUST be more than 10 words to be approved):

Hi,

2 years ago (29 years old) I was obsessed with a song of Yann Tiersen from the movie Amelie. I had keyboard lessons from age 12 to 17. I played keyboard to relax. I just had to be able to play that song! After two weeks I could, to my own surprise, and even didn't need the sheet music.

I bought a piano and started to try to make my own melodies on a day when I felt blue. It was my saving. I could unload all my stress through the keys. From that I created my first composition "Labyrinthe - Formé" It tells my life from birth up to the point in my life that I want to forget.

Since then I have two more songs composed and two compositions waiting for the last moment of inspiration...

I compose music for myself, but after playing my pieces for friends and a few good causes performances, I got a lot of good feedback that I have moved my listeners. I must say, that specific feeling and seeing a tear because of what I play, is something wonderfull!
