We all worth the best !!


---- LYRICS ----

I always feel on the wrong side.
Never care or never mind,
I should accept me as I am.
But I hate what I see,
When I dare to look at me,
My face is just so creepy.
If only I was not the one
Of whom others always have fun.
I fear one day I'll take a gun.

CHORUS:
  Stand proud
  And show them who you are
  Hang on
  These haters will get bored
  There's sun
  Inside of everyone
  Stand proud
  Keep shouting it out loud

Shame is burning deep inside,
Rage is close, it lives aside,
I hate all these damn bastards.
But they're right when they say
I'm just a dwarf. I'm born this way,
And my nightmare won't go away.
If it's a pure matter of size,
Why can't I just be like these guys,
I'm fed up that they criticize.

(CHORUS)

Everyone has different tastes,
That's what my mom always states,
And I keep telling my classmates.
But despite that, they don't care,
They keep laughing, that's not fair.
I love to dance, I know that's rare.
If only I was not a boy,
They would for sure let me enjoy,
I wouldn't feel like I'm destroyed.

(CHORUS)

Stand Proud!
Stand Proud!
Stand Proud!
Stand Proud!
Keep shouting it out loud.

Stand Proud

(Translation above)

Auteur-compositeur de chansons françaises qui n'attendent que de bons interprètes. 
Après des études au conservatoire et musicologie à la Sorbonne, j'ai enseigné l'éducation musicale à des élèves en école élémentaire de 1982 à 2021.

Dès 1989, alors que je découvrais la MAO, j'ai commencé à faire des centaines d'arrangements de chansons pour enfants ou adultes dans tous les styles pour les faire chanter. Cette solide expérience m'a amené dans un premier temps à composer des chansons pour mes élèves. Puis, je me suis lancé dans un répertoire pour adultes. 132 chansons à ce jour !

Mon répertoire va de la danse traditionnelle française (La bourrée du maumarié), à l’EDM (La tête dans les étoiles) en passant par la musique classique (Double concerto pour violon, violoncelle et orchestre à cordes) et la chanson française, le gros du panier, avec le plus souvent cette pointe d’humour qui fait tant défaut aujourd’hui dans beaucoup de chansons, (ce qui est étonnant quand on voit autant d’humoristes fleurir aux six points de l’Hexagone…)

Même si certains apprécient ma façon de chanter, mes chansons sont faites pour de vrais interprètes qui aiment monter sur scène.

Né en 1961 à Paris.

Author-composer and performer... by default of French songs. 
After studying at the Conservatoire and musicology at the Sorbonne, I taught music education to elementary school pupils from 1982 to 2021.

As early as 1989, when I was just discovering computer-assisted music, I started making hundreds of arrangements of songs for children and adults in all styles, to get them to sing along. This solid experience initially led me to compose songs for my students. Then I started working on a repertoire for adults. 132 songs to date!

My repertoire ranges from traditional French dance (La bourrée du maumarié), to EDM (La tête dans les étoiles), classical music (Double concerto for violin, cello and string orchestra) and French chanson, the mainstay of my repertoire, most often with that touch of humor so lacking in so many songs these days (which is astonishing when you see so many humorists flourishing at the six points of the Hexagon...).

Even if some people like the way I sing, my songs are made for real performers who like to get up on stage.

Born in 1961 in Paris.

Deutscher Singer-Songwriter über fünfzig Jahre alt. Seit fast vierzig Jahren schreibe und singe ich Lieder. Mein Hauptinstrument ist die akustische Gitarre, aber ich mag auch Perkussionsinstrumente (Cajon, Maracas, Gurio). Ich liebe es, melancholische und poetische Balladen zu komponieren. Aber manchmal schreibe ich auch (schwarze) humorvolle Songs, Jazzstyle und -Rocksongs. Meine Hauptsprache ist Deutsch. Aber in Zukunft will ich mehr Songs auf Englisch und vereinzelt auch Französisch schreiben.
In meinen Kompositionen bin ich inspiriert von Leonard Cohen, John Lennon, Jacques Brel, Van Morrison und Bob Dylan. Auf meinen Platten spiele und singe ich alles alleine. Meine Vision für die Zukunft ist es, Musiker aus verschiedenen Kulturen zu finden, die gerne ihre Tracks mit mir teilen wollen.
Mein persönliches Mantra ist ein Satz, der von Paul Mccartney auf dem Beatles-Album "Abbey Road auf dem Track "In the end" vor fast Fünfzig Jahren geschrieben wurde:

Die Liebe, die Du bekommst ist gleich der Liebe, die Du gibst.

German singer-songwriter over fifty years old. For almost forty years I have been writing and singing songs. My main instrument is the acoustic guitar, but I also like percussion instruments (Cajon, Maracas, Gurio). I love composing melancholic and poetic ballads. But sometimes I also write (black) humorous songs, jazz style and rock songs. My main language is German. But in the future I want to write more songs in English and occasionally also in French.
In my compositions I am inspired by Leonard Cohen, John Lennon, Jacques Brel, Van Morrison and Bob Dylan. On my records I play and sing all by myself. My vision for the future is to find musicians from different cultures who would like to share their tracks with me.
My personal mantra is a sentence written by Paul Mccartney on the Beatles album "Abbey Road on the track "In the end" almost fifty years ago:

The love you take is equal to the love you make.

Le partage de la musique et les collaborations entre créateurs.

Life is Music, that's a sure thing!

I'm a self-taught musician, a Metallica fan, heavy sounds lover, but I nevertheless enjoy most styles of music...

I play guitar and bass, I like to compose some stuff on my free time, enjoy lingering around and discover new sounds... and collaborate with artists all around the globe to have even more fun!!
 :o)

Please go ahead and tell me what -good or bad- you think about my music, it's always constructive!

Thank you all who take the time to listen to my music, I really appreciate every comment, like and reposts 💜 I've discovered so much amazing music on soundcloud and so many talented and lovely people too. 
I've been writing songs on and off for over 20 years, I write mostly about life experiences and anything that I'm passionate about or situations that I've been in but sometimes imaginary too.. Music means so much to me and I'm really enjoying recording more in this strange lockdown year...
I like how Rumi says it.... 
'You are not just a drop in the ocean, you are the whole ocean in one drop'

🇺🇸 Weaving melodies that dance with memories of the past, while igniting the spirit of now.

A self-taught journey through the haze of raw riffs, poetic verses, and the echoes of a time that still lingers.

Step into Echoes of Youth, my debut album, out April 8th. From the rebellious energy of Punk and Hard Rock to the introspective calm of Folk, touched by the dreamy nostalgia of the early 2000s.

Let’s rock together ! 🎸🎶🎧🤘

🇫🇷  Tissant des mélodies qui dansent avec les souvenirs du passé, tout en enflammant l’esprit du présent.

Un voyage autodidacte à travers le brouillard de riffs bruts, de vers poétiques, et des échos d’une époque qui persiste encore.

Echoes of Youth, mon premier album, disponible le 8 avril. De l’énergie rebelle du Punk et Hard Rock à la calme introspective du Folk, avec une touche de nostalgie onirique des débuts des années 2000. 

Let’s rock together ! 🎸🎶🎧🤘

Stand Proud
