I started to learn music at 15, without expecting anything special. The first guitar keys, lessons and bands with my family, rapidly convinced me and absorbed all my attention. Since I met Terence in 2006, when he played with my metal local band as a bassist, we developped a sincere relationship and after the split of my band, I became the bassist of Weend’ô. I’m a fan of all kind of music. So , Weend’ô enables me to develope metal, rock or jazz riffs. Married since September 2016, I am an active musician in several local bands, guitar/bass teacher (Audiolight Music). Nevertheless, I concentrate my musical work on Weend’ô . MUSICAL INFLUENCES : From Porcupine Tree to Dream Theater, passing by Karnivool, Incubus, Tool. WHAT PUSHES ME TO GO ON : Music, my wife, my family and my friends ! Life in one word !! WHAT I HATE THE MOST : the Morons !! MY FAVOURITE MOVIES : The lion king MY FAVOURITE MEAL : A good meal of Pasta cooked by our master “Pastalatchi” (nickname of Terence) EQUIPMENT ON STAGE : Bass designed & made by Anthony Lauberteaux, Bass GetL designed & made by Anthony Lauberteaux, Head “Markbass” multiam stereo, Baffle “Markbass”. http://www.lutherie-agen.com/site/accueil/

I started to play guitar when I was 16, influenced by my brother-in-law, guitarist and fan of blues rock. Thanks him I discovered all the rock family of 70′s! Led Zep, Hendrix, Zappa etc…At 18, I played both in an orchestra and local bands (playing covers). I’m a self-educated musician. What lead me to create Weend’ô is a mix of all my experiences (musical, emotional, spiritual). I wanted to convey sthing sincere with all I had deep inside. MUSICAL INFLUENCES : Jimmy Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Mike Oldfield, The 70′s, the hard rock time with Guns n’ roses, Metallica, Acdc, Queen, Scorpion and more recently Tool, Incubus, Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater. WHAT PUSHES ME TO GO ON : The will to make people’s attitudes evolve towards sincerity. I even think about proposing a new religion called “Boudhalus” : religion that might appear in a coming future gathering the adepts of Boudha, Allah and Jesus. Once established, a great part of the world would live in Peace ! WHAT I HATE THE MOST : Megalomaniac, Mythomaniac, Hypocrite people.

About WEENDO
The musical universe of Weend’ô is a subtle mix of rock, between Pink Floyd’s ambiant references and Tool’s modern riffs. The harmonized and uncluttered arrangements support an original, powerful voice; emotionally charged, influenced by the famous singer Anneke Van Giersbergen (ex The Gathering).
Weend’ô explores the depths of the human psyche : its qualities and faults, its fears and joy, its relationships… The lyrics are written from real experiences and through melodic progressive rock, the audience is invited to a journey from the inside. Whether incisive or sensitive, Weend’ô “speak” to our hearts and our souls.
Their 1st album CD/DVD “You Need To Know Yourself” released in January 2012 received very good reviews in Holland, Canada, Poland, France, Brazil, and be pronounced “best band and best album of November 2012″ in a bresilian rock metal prog zine.
From 2013 Weend’ô is performing at 4 with new arrangements brought by International Prog Award nominee Stephan (expired link) (Stephane Deriau-Reine – Los Angeles), producer and keyboardist for numerous bands and artists worldwide. The band was invited by Musicwaves and Clive Nolan (Pendagron, Arena) to an intimate show to support the Clive Nolan’s Musical “Alchemy” in March 2013, and every year since that date. The International Festival “PROG SUD” near Marseilles (Southern France) welcomed the band with a big standing ovation (in May 2013) !
To enlarge their audience, and to show their creativity & love for ARTS , the band decided to release a DVD “Weend’ô Fairytal’acoustic” (JANUARY 2014). The DVD received very good returns and enabled the band to play everywhere : Theaters, Museums, Auditoriums…
Due to personal projects of the couple-founders Laetitia/Terence, between 2014 & 2016 the band will be rarely on stage (except the to be underlined gig with Arena in Toulouse and their position as Headliner on a stage in their local festival).
In summer 2016, the band come back to their home studio and work hard to offer you in Autumn 2017 a new electrical album with a tour in France/England. To be announced during the spring fundraising campaign (21/04/17 to 21/06/17) ! so stay tuned !
The best is to come…Weend’ô is hoping to share with many different audiences a magical & memorable moment !
