About Me
My story...the road to be a violin maker...
I started music early, at 6 years old the violin, it was going well so I was pushed to go further. After a first prize at the Marseille Conservatory at the age of 14, I went to work with several renowned teachers in Paris and Lyon, solo concerts, in chamber music groups, I ended up being accepted at the Haute Ecole de Musique de Genève in Switzerland the year I turned 19. After 4 years of intensive studies in Violin, chamber music, string quartet, theory, orchestra, etc... I left with 2 Masters (respectively in Soloist and Orchestral Musician specialization). I then worked as an orchestral musician in various National orchestras in Switzerland and France, giving concerts as a soloist for 7 years...
Since the age of 14 I dreamed of creating electric violins and being a violin maker, always fascinated by other music, notably jazz, electro, and metal as well, but I had to choose. The year I turned 30 I realized that I would have to stop everything to start from scratch and get started... which I did 1 year later😅, I then undertook self-learning of the work wood, violin making, and started creating prototypes, each as horrible and unplayable as the next 😂 At the same time, I followed a diploma course in electronics with the aim of manufacturing my own circuits, pre-amps and microphones. (I also worked as an electronic technician for 3 years alongside electric violin making...)
Today, my goal is to offer a unique service: the personalized creation without any limits of design of electric musical instruments. I strive to capture the personality of the artist, his intimate relationship to his project, to his dream and to translate its essence to create a unique instrument , often themed, of exceptional quality, a balance between tradition and modernity, whether in the form, the characteristics (number of strings, set-up, accessories, etc.), the materials used (wood, metals, epoxy resin, etc.), the details and decorations (LEDs, engravings, sculptures, drawings, etc.), the colors and of course the electronics (microphones, amplification, effects, etc.). .).
