Jean Pierre
 

In the southern streets of Spain, the sound of strange music strikes wonder into those who hear it. The culture and music drew me in like a hypnotic flame. I found this strange and delightful music home, FLAMENCO.

As a young man, I found myself learning everything I could from the casual instrumental instructions of the gypsies in France, Belgium and Spain. These people are the true teachers, who have the real talent and heart of flamenco. Once I felt comfortable with my skills, I began to fuse the other styles of Moorish, Arabic and Latin into my music. After establishing my own style, I had the opportunity to teach at a consortium in Lubeek, Belgium.

After traveling between Europe and America, I now reside in Atlanta, Georgia. My musical career has led me to many wonderful experiences such as playing for Ted Turner, Jane Fonda, the Shaw Family and the popular Spanish painter, Alvar. I usually play solo, but occasionally work with other musicians. As a session player, I have been fortunate enough to play on remixes for various artists, like Anna Victoria, Enrique Iglesias and other artists for major labels. I have also begun a second album whcih you may hear in the coming year.
