Since when do you evolve in music?
Claude :
I started with the piano at the age of 6 at the conservatory of Nice, then the classical guitar at 12 years. I fell into rock n' roll at the age of 14 with various groups of composers and covers (Generation, Identity). I also briefly joined Karoline at the very beginning of the 80's with singing and rhythm guitar. After 2 years in Jazz class at the conservatory of Nice, departure for Paris in 1985 where we found ourselves with the Antibes group Brainstocker on the keyboard this time.
After a total stop of the music by family obligations between 1990 and 2005, resumption of this one in 2006 during my return on Nice.
Since then, creation of the power trio Bazgang (blues rock) and Lowrider'ZZ (tribute zz top)
Also The meeting (French and Italian pop/rock) Carrousel (French pop) Club House (International pop/rock)
Since 10 years, I am also a guitarist in the Rockabilly band Miss Dey & The Residents with whom we have already made 2 albums.
Currently, in preparation of a first album of compositions.
At the end of the day, that's almost 50 years of music!
