Stephane was born in Paris and raised in Fontainebleau, home of impressionism and Django Reinhardt's music. Stephane's life took a decisive turn in his late teens when he first discovered the music of Django and the Gypsies. He spent the following years of his life learning, playing, and expanding on this musical tradition.

He has toured around the world, and is very active on the musical scene in many countries including USA, Canada, France, Israel and India. Recently, Stephane has performed as a headliner at the legendary Carnegie Hall in New York and at the Festival Django Reinhardt in France.
