Naphets
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I learned percussions and drums at the age of 5 for 5 years, then had rap period when I was 12 (it was in the 1980s). Then I learned the guitar as an autodidact at the age of 15, and started making my own demos at 17. As a result, I had to learn how to play keyboard and bass. I've never stopped composing songs since then
At the same time, I was playing in extremely famous band that everybody must have heard of (lol)(Les Gramures, Till Dawn, Zu) the most important of which was "O".
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I used to play live back in the days....I hope I'll have the opportunity to do that again
