Throughout his career, he has released solo albums and projects, composed soundtracks, and collaborated on major theatrical and musical productions.
One of his most notable experiences was his leading role in the musical Dracula, l’amour plus fort que la mort (2011–2012), where he portrayed Jonathan Harker.

With razor-sharp riffs, a blazing Irish fiddle, and an intense, powerful voice, each concert becomes a cinematic and captivating journey into the world of Celtic Pagan Rock.
