MY MUSICAL PAST: After many trips abroad, training in jazz piano (Antwerp) and in "electronic music production" at the SAE (Brussels), I released my first EP in November 2017 entitled "Into The Star" which then allowed me to play on several Belgian stages including the Botanique last March. At the moment, I devote myself full time to my “artistic ambition”. My projects are mainly: check MEWHY (Spotify / YouTube / ....) METHODOLOGY: The objective of the training is that you are able to RELEASE A PROJECT ALONE (composition - arrangement - mix - mastering - diffusion) My method is characterized by a journey between two poles: objectivity and subjectivity. Objectivity: Giving through the sharing of my in-depth knowledge of the subject as well as an interesting perspective, allowing me to see the music industry as a whole. Subjectivity: Giving through the sharing of my artistic experiences and views on music and the elements that produce it. The desire to have students for several weeks allows me to know enough about them to advise them best in the paths they undertake. The courses will therefore be a balanced mix between: - Training in digital music / by computer (MAO / ...) - Training in acoustic music / by instruments (piano, guitar, voice, ...) Have you always wanted to have control over all of your production? Do you have ideas in your head that you can't manage to materialize? Come!!!!

I have experience writing music in a range of styles, including film scores, EDM, ambient, and classical music. I have helped artists in folk, metal, EDM, hip hop, rock, pop, and many other genres.

Once you're setup, I can guide you through creating your first musical ideas, and then developing them into cohesive musical pieces. I can teach you how to write music for others, and contribute to creative projects. Once you've been learning for a while, or if you already have experience, we can start to cover more advanced topics such as orchestration, synthesis, and more complex musical forms. Production Music production is the process of taking a basic musical piece, such as a song, and arranging and polishing it to prepare it for release. I can teach you to arrange parts for strings, synths, or choir, or write drum, bass, guitar, or keyboard parts. I have worked with artists in folk, metal, rock, pop, jazz, RnB, hip hop, and EDM. No matter your genre, I can help you polish your songs and prepare them for release. Audio Engineering Do you want to set up your own home recording studio?
