I’m a musician, guitarist, singer. Committed in a few great bands around here in Switzerland for almost 20 years (Disfunktion, A Few Good Men, the bliss, Jack is Dead…). I always was interested in the groove and working and focusing on it with the different projects be it funk, rock, jazz or songwriting.

I’m currently working on new material for my second solo project release. Something in between folk, rock, funk... Stay tuned !

I’m a journalist too. Worked more than 20 years as a journalist and TV and Radio host. I produced and presented also several TV and radio shows for RTS channels La Première and Couleur3 ( Tronches de Vie, Demain Peut-être, La Société Anonyme, La Lutte des Classes, Radio Paradiso). At the moment working as host and producer at Journal du 12h30 on RTS La Première.

I'm also found of coffee. Became barista studying at Illy's Università del Caffè in Trieste and at Artisan School of Coffee in London. Today I'm proud to have created the first specialised roasting of specialty coffees in Lausanne ! Roasting from my base precious arabica from small farmholders. Paying attention from the quality of the bean to the CO2 neutral, recyclable packagings. Artwork is done by my designer friend Loris in London and foil printing by an artisan friend in Lausanne and his old Heidelberg printers !

Music and coffee - hybridisation or symbiosis ? I find sensations in both that bring these seemingly distant worlds closer. Memories, sensations, aromas, emotions. Together it's happiness. And life is short, so....

Enjoy !

Thank you for visiting.
