biography
Nicolas follows the classical range; his teachers are Chantal Cuenot, Javier Quevedo and Alberto Ponce. He has played recitals in Belgium, France, Spain and the United Kingdom, where – upon he recorded for the BBC during the west wilts festival. His first opportunity as studio musician was for the film "Roselyne et les lions" by Jean Jacques Beneix.
Attracted by various musical contrasts and instrumental acoustics - found of Led Zeppelin, Paco de Lucia, Stravinsky, Vicente Asencio… - he begins composing. The Heaven way album, recorded in 2002 on Juste une Trace label, is the result of five years work of mixed guitaring and writing.
He begins composing his concerto for guitar and orchestra. In january 2005, he performs with Nema for "Les rendez vous du jazz" (DVD YN Productions for LYON-City television).
In the same year, he performs in the international competition " Nights of the Lausanne guitar ", a competition reserved only for "non classical" guitar composers. With his Sonata "Campanas de la Esperanza", he receives 2nd Prize (interpretation and composition).
On Franck Girard's advice, NEMA's double bass player, he contacts Vincent Dacosta, electronic acoustic composer, and Ismaïl Mesbahi, oriental percussionnist for a new project... 2nd CD is launched.
With this program, he performs in April 2007 at the International Guitar Festival in Tricastin .
