Born in the Indian
ocean on a French island called 'La Reunion' on Febuary 13 1980. Antoine then moved to France where he was for the most part raised.
From the moment he sat behind a drum kit he knew this was what he wanted to do. Within six months he was already playing with local bands in music festivals, café’s, private party’s, campgrounds, etc.
Mostly self taught, he did attended a music school in the northern part of France (Valenciennes) called CMA (Centre des Musiques Actuelles) where he studied with Cyril Gabet with whom he really got his ABC’s of drumming.
A great love for all styles of music led Antoine to study as many styles as he possibly could, making him at ease in almost any musical situation.
After a few years of playing in France, at age 20 Antoine decided to try his luck abroad which led him to Tokyo. In Tokyo Antoine performed with 'Take That', 'Juanes', 'Melody', 'The Hitmen', 'J.J Vicars', 'Derek Short' and many others. And also gave private Drum Lessons.
He feels this is the most challenging and rewarding musical situation. He has had the honor to play with some of the finest musicians in Tokyo.
Be it Rock, Fusion, Pop, Jazz, Latin, Blues, Disco, he has played it all. His ability too adapt/improvise to any musical genre is excellent. Playing with click tracks, sequences, reading scores is no problem.
