Grooving at my best today with Jorja Smith’s Little Things—feels incredible to find that pocket again.

Some of the best music happens under pressure.
No loud playing at home? I focus on touch.
Needed more gig hours? Found a Turkish orchestra training near Marseille.
Sometimes, limits are just a redirection. What’s a constraint that shaped your music?

Real talk: some days you groove effortlessly, others you’re barely holding on. This session was one of those days—but my crew had my back. Grateful for the strength behind the music.
Who lifts you when the music gets tough?

15 people at Le Pigalle, lazy Sunday vibe, Paul soloing effortlessly—pure, easy musical storytelling. Moments like these remind me why I play.

Playing Le Pigalle’s Sunday morning sessions taught me something: When you remove expectations, music gets beautifully unpredictable. Emilien & Paul turned brunch jazz into pure improv joy.

Some gigs just hit different. La Montgolfière was like that—spacious, cozy, and surprising. Thanks Ornella, for believing in us before we fully did ourselves.

Some musicians play classics like a museum piece. I’d rather rebuild them in real-time.
I don’t tell my bandmates, “Let’s play this standard perfectly.” I say, “Let’s make it feel like it was written today.”
And suddenly, the music breathes again.

Mondays are for new ideas, new grooves, new energy.
Been fusing Run the Jewels hip-hop beats into jazz jams, and somehow, it just WORKS.
What’s a fusion of genres that blew your mind?

Bandleader reality check: 1 part playing music, 9 parts solving problems nobody sees. I’m talking late-night planning, gear hauling, wrangling personalities… all so the show looks carefree
Still think it’s all fun and games?
Musicians & creatives, how do you keep things together behind the scenes?

The balance between wild energy & tight control.
Yesterday at La Belle Vie, I went all in. But today? I’m thinking about how to tighten up, refine my rhythm, and master the groove.
Musicians—what’s your best rhythm/harmony practice tip?

Drumming, but softer.
Exploring how light touch changes everything with an ASMR-style drum setup. Instead of force, it’s about control. Instead of power, it’s about feel.
What’s an instrument or musical style you’ve had to completely rethink?

Winter doesn’t stand a chance against the fiery grooves of “The Chicken.” Grateful to @sundayjazzdelivery for an unforgettable session.

The best part of live music? When the whole band locks in together. No words, just pure energy.
Ever been at a show and felt the whole room shift because the music just hit? Let’s talk.

Reinventing the Classics
There’s something magical about taking a soulful track like “Danger” by Erykah Badu and infusing it with rock elements. It breathes new life into the music and keeps the creative juices flowing.

That didn’t happened to me for over a decade
My PC crashed today and somehow managed to lose 5,000 words of a book I’m writing. Vanished into cyberspace. I think I’ve lost the will to live.😡

’m 1000x stronger with good people around me.
10000x stronger with a dream I can touch.
100000x stronger with love fueling that dream.
Sometimes, all it takes is one good soul to make the music flow. Who’s that person for you? #LiveGroove

Sometimes music takes you out of your comfort zone. Soloing over a rock groove at Les Piaules, Belleville, and just letting the groove lead. 🎶
