I was still in school when someone handed me a microphone at a rehearsal... and the musicians asked me to be part of the band. I had been listening to B.B. King, Tina Turner, Stevie Wonder, Elvis Presley and learned a lot from them.

After that, Punk, rock and New Wave influenced me, but a passion for Flamenco, African and oriental music also led me to Indian and Balkanise music.
I lived in Paris and London, travelled Africa, Asia, USA and Europ for work and pleasure.
