At that point, I began playing the drums in balls village hops and at the same time practised diatonic accordion until I felt I was ready to perform in public. I set up Trio à Deux with Patrick Mesnier, a friend violinist and we took part in the festival Musicalies en Sologne in Pierrefitte sur Sauldre. This is how it really started : ever since, my true motivation has been to play the accordion for people who like dancing, go down on the dancefloor and improvise to the rhythm of some feet stamping...

Later on, I played a lot with Edmt, an association in Bourges that Jacques Veschambre and I founded more than ten years ago. This structure has enabled me – as well as many other musicians - to train by playing or inviting other bands for a concert. I also took part in various training sessions with talented musicians such as Marc Perrone to develop my instrumental technique.

As well as my friends at Edmt, I also played with Sonnez Bourdons, Pandémonium, Bobby Michot and Cœurs Cassés. I have been playing with Grégory Jolivet in a duet called Rue Pascale for several years, in which we focus on melodies.

As traditional music was not familiar to me, it is difficult for me to defend traditional repertoire. Yet, this music moves me and inspires me when I write my compositions which are always connected with dancing. In my record, I tried to retranscribe all the things I have learnt for all these years while listening to and practising different types of music. Of course, traditional music has a central place in it. Voleur de Lune is thus composed of melodies I perform in balls and that are close to my heart. In recording this album, I hope my technique has progressed.
