I wrote a song in French which is on my first album called "La Ruée vers l'Or" which in English means, "The Gold Rush". Coming to America, where most of the music I listen to comes from, was my Gold Rush. Folk and Rock music is part of the culture there. I was afraid when I first arrived that most people would not like my songs because I sing in French. Music is a question of energy and giving good vibes to people.

This American experience has been incredible. I have learned so much and met so many great people. This country is so diverse and so big...it would take a lifetime to discover it all....

On the road again !!

Une des chansons de mon premier disque s'appelle "La Ruée vers l'Or". Une prémonition ? J'ai tellement appris musicalement depuis que j'habite à Portland. Cette ville regorge de tant de bons musiciens et la Folk, le Rock et le Blues font tellement parti de la culture populaire que c'est un enrichissement total.

La conquête de mon Ouest musical, chantant mes chansons en français au pays de l'Oncle Sam, et souvent accompagné de Monsieur Tété, est une aventure perpétuelle...On the road again.
