Overture

I studied music at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris. (CNSMDP) where I earned 3 prizes  (harmony, counterpoint and fugue), at the Bordeaux Conservatory (6 first prizes in harmony, counterpoint, saxophone, musical theory, chamber music and deciphering) and at the Saint Maur des Fossés Conservatory (harmony, orchestration and conducting).
 
I’ve composed more than 60 short movies soundtracks, orchestrated music for Pierre Adenot (Beauty and the Beast), orchestrated and conducted music for Guillaume Roussel (It boy, HhHH, 3 days to kill, Outcast, La French) and Erwann Kermorvant (The Clearstream affair, Braquo third season), and arranged musics for Christophe Héral (The Adventures of Tintin, the video game, Rayman Origins, Rayman Legends).
 
In 2012, I had the great honor to receive 3 Jerry Goldsmith Awards (best composer, best music in short-live action and best song) for the score of « L’Attaque du monstre géant suceur de cerveaux de l’espace ».
 
Over the years I had the great pleasure to conduct the London Symphony Orchestra, the Philharmonia Orchestra, the Paris Symphonic Orchestra, the Paris Scoring Orchestra,  the Star Pop Orchestra and smaller bands for intimate musics.
