     I have played my first rythm at 14 years old, and start straight away playing with 2 friends : Christophe D. and Yann B. (the guitar players on the pictures). The band was called "AZYLUM" and later "EXOCET".
But our music has never gone beyond the walls of my bedroom in which we were practicing at the time...


                         
          14 years old... "Schoolboy" haircut,  and... what a style !           15 years old, an "Azylum"'s practice session in my bedroom


     In 1989, my parents offer me drums classes. Unfortunately, these "rythmic studies" will last only one tiny year because, not doing anything anymore at school, my father punished me by removing them from me, F...k !!!

     was as well this year I tasted for the first time the double-bass drum technic ; for the great misfortune of my family and my neighbours...




17 years old, the hair grown, a look rather... "Ridiculo-Estival"


     "THE JONES" Adventure begins for me in May 1991, with my arrival in "ACID JAM", which will be renamed by steps of line-up into "MISTER JONES", "MINDS WORLD", "W. JONES" and finally "THE JONES".

     Between 1994 and 2004, I played within several groups such as : "ROBERT TITS" (Rock/Hard) "DREADLINE" (Power Metal), "PERSONNA NON GRATA" (Rock), "WITCHES" (Death Metal), and "BORHAN" (Metal).




"Dreadline" in 1997


     Today, beside "THE JONES" which is my main musical occupation, I'm behind my drumkit with "PRIMITIV'ACT" (Thrash Metal).
