For 25 years, I’ve operated my own business as a singer, songwriter, musician, and performer, and for the past 10 years I’ve worked as a camera operator and video editor—also writing and directing music videos, live-event videos, educational videos, and promos. As a recording artist, I’ve released multiple well-reviewed recordings with ongoing radio and online airplay. I’ve also composed commissioned film music, licensed songs for TV and ads, and performed as a live singer and bandleader across major venues and international locations. In parallel, I’ve written for film, acted in French-language TV, and bring a level-headed, highly motivated, organized, relentless approach to every project.
