"Hi, I'm a french guitarist based in Helsinki/Finland. -¤¤¤ I have lately performed as live session guitarist with Finnish metal band "Codeon" . Since, I've been in touch with different metal bands in order to join the right project.
- ¤¤¤ - Beside this I run my own funk metal instrumental band(ROO), My goal is to compose colorfull guitar music mixing influences from Country-Rock to Death Metal... (I even enjoy jazz and gipsy grooves) We will enter recording studio in June.
