Professionally active in the Belgian music scene for more than 25 years, you may have already met me on one of my different playgrounds... Or not...
... ON THE BELGIAN SCENE...
First of all, as a guitarist in various live and studio projects, but also as a bass player. I also worked as a guitar tech (Fred and The Healers), and as a stage manager (for various concert halls and festivals, where I worked for artists such as Triggerfinger, Puggy, BJ Scott, Axel Bauer, Popa Chubby, Paul Di'anno,...)
… THE TEACHER …
Guitar teacher since the end of the 90s in various ASBL's, I arrived at the Rock's Cool in Namur in 2002 where I stayed for 19 years, including 12 years as head of one of their six branches in Sambreville.
… GUITAR REPAIR…
As far back as I can remember, I have always loved setting up, repairing, understanding technically, modifying and improving my own instruments… at first. Later on ... other people's ...
This is undoubtedly due to my meticulousness, but also to my training as a microtechnician / watchmaker (I worked for 5 years as a repairman for a watchmaker's shop) and my higher studies in Industrial Design at the Institut Saint-Luc in Liège.
… THE NEXT LEVEL…
In 2014, I was hired to think, set up and develop an “up-to-date” guitar repair station within the Rockamusic shop in Erpent. In addition to my role as workshop manager, I also became the "guitar specialist", thanks to my knowledge and experience. Since then, several thousand instruments have passed on my bench, and it is always with the same particular attention and the greatest of demands that I perfect the set up and give life back to your instruments, because each guitar is unique.
…THE NEXT LOGICAL STEP…
In 2020, the need to rethink my life project and my professional activity following the events linked to the covid was more and more felt, and it is as a logical continuation that the birth of my own workshop was necessary.
And so it is!
Since January 2021, I welcome you in an old factory that I restored by myself during almost 20 years (my other passion), and if you wish to call upon my services, do not hesitate to contact me by phone +32 (0) 71/701 754 or via my email address
It will be a great pleasure for me to answer you.
