Born in Geneva, he discovered the guitar thanks to the likes of Robert Hisland and José Barrense Diaz. He completed his brilliant studies in Michel Rutscho’s class by benefiting from the teaching of Konrad Ragossnig and Dante Brenna. He also attended the Masterclasses of Oscar Cacères and the Master Andrès Segovia.
He regularly gives concerts in Switzerland and abroad, as a soloist or with different chamber music orchestras. In 1993 he recorded the CD Blasons des fleurs with Elisabeth Mattman, soprano. It was mainly devoted to Spanish composers and included a work by the Swiss composer J.-Fr. Zbinden (first recording worldwide).
His passion for pedagogy and didactic methods has led him to edit works for students and to create, in 1999, the Editions PARTITA.
