BIOGRAPHY


Born into a family of artists and travelers, my childhood was filled with cultural experiences and exposure to the world. I spent my childhood traveling around the world (road trip by RV from Alaska to Ushuaïa in 3 years) while studying through the CNED (french National Center for Distance Education). 

Following the trip, I continued distance education until 9th grade, which allowed me to experiment. At the music conservatory, I discovered piano and music composition for which I became passionate. It was then that I started improvising and creating my first melodies.

With an interest in science, at 18 I hesitated between engineering and music, and chose both. After preparatory classes (2 years of intense studying in physics and mathematics preparing for entry exams to french most prestigious engineering schools), I entered the Ecole des Mines de Saint-Etienne and continued to practice music in my spare time. At the Ecole des Mines, I discovered the fascinating world of film scoring, which I learned on my own. When I finished my studies, I joined the MAAAV (Music Applied to Visual Arts master) class at Lyon 2 University.

With a rich family cultural background (Romanian, Spanish and French), I draw inspiration from all my experiences, enabling me to offer a very broad musical spectrum. I like to explore very different genres, with a particuliar preference for hybrid music. As a musician as well as an engineer, I'm very interested in sound designing.
