**Artistic Direction, Sound Creation & Music Industry Expertise**
Since the age of 15, I have evolved at the heart of the music industry, between stage performance, studio work, artistic direction, and artist develop...ment. Initially a singer-songwriter, I signed an album with Universal Music, won around a dozen festival awards, and worked as a professional live performer, formative experiences that shaped my deep understanding of the artistic, human, and economic realities of this industry.
In 2017, I founded CMC Studio, a production, publishing, and artist development company where I worked as a producer, sound engineer, and artistic director. There, I developed a brand identity recognized for the quality of its productions and the artistic standards behind them.
Continuing this vision, I created several artist spotlight initiatives, notably Sodalite Talents and the CMC Masterclass series, in collaboration with Valéry Zeitoun, Yvan Cujious, and other major figures in the music industry.
These projects allowed me to challenge and refine my artistic vision alongside exceptional professionals: orchestrators, Universal composers, renowned musicians and artists, critics, radio press officers, label directors, radio hosts, and influential industry figures.
Among them: Hervé Cocto, Nicolas Pernikoff, Vivian Roost, Kerredine Soltani, Patrick Bruel, David Hallyday, Christophe Willem, Marc Lavoine, Fred Zeitoun, Jacques Veneruso, Thierry Communal, Thierry Blanchard, Brice Davoli, Gérard Capaldi, Sébastien Chouard, Julien Tekeyan, Pat Angeli, Hervé Duplessi, among many others.
Today, I continue this journey by combining artistic direction with personal creation through my musical project To The Moon & Back alongside Charles Coudert, allowing me to remain deeply connected to the field, to emotion, and to the artistic truth from which meaningful works emerge. I also collaborate with leading industry professionals, including sound engineer and producer Thierry Blanchard, a prominent figure in Boulogne’s high-end studio scene, whose studios have welcomed artists such as Céline Dion, Santa, The Avener, Jean-Jacques Goldman, and many other major artists.
Through my workshops, training programs, and project evaluations, I have supported more than 500 artists in their development.
My approach is built on a strong conviction: in the era of artificial intelligence and rapidly evolving economic models, an artist must develop a global vision of their project while preserving and cultivating their uniqueness, vulnerabilities, strengths, and deep identity.
Today, I offer artists access to a strong, supportive, and experienced network built throughout my career, helping them position themselves, structure their projects, and affirm their artistic identity.
My mission remains unchanged: to defend music with passion, and artists with humanity.
