Born in Bordeaux, France, in 2000. He discovered the bassoon at the age of 8 at the Conservatoire de Bordeaux.

He is a chamber and orchestra music enthusiast and performs regularly with ensembles like Chamber Orchestra of Paris, National Orchestra of Lille, National Opéra Bordeaux Aquitaine, National Orchestra of Montpellier, and the Chamber Orchestra Pablo Casals, among others.
