Multidisciplinary artist
My work spans studio ceramics, visual art, and original music composition. In my creative studio, I combine high-fire stoneware craftsmanship,painting with expressive acoustic and digital soundscapes. Currently based in Sète, a small coastal town in the south of France, I am driven by an instinct to connect, communicate, and push creative boundaries, bringing versatility to everything I create.

Growing up on the graffiti scene, I developed my work primarily within the Geneva street art movement building a body of work which started with a mix of abstract painting and graffiti using gradients and texture to explore the interplay between shape, colour, depth, and movement.

Ceramicist
In my ceramic studio, I produce both functional pottery and fine-art sculptural works.Each ceramic work is hand-crafted and fired to high temperatures, ensuring that every vessel or sculpture carries its own distinct signature and durability.

Musician
Beyond visual and tactile mediums, I compose and records original music. Blending guitar and piano composition, vocal storytelling, and modern production. I began releasing music alongside Shanky Lightfoot as Mista Plus in a rap duo named The Tuna Brothers. We released a debut EP called Albahardcore in 2012 and then an album called The Bluefin Prophecies in 2014. I then moved to London to study music and worked on multiple musical porjects such as The Klutch but the pandemic had other plans for me and veered me towards ceramics. More recently in 2026 I released my first official solo single called Notoriously Criminal. I have since started a band project which is in its very early stages but we plan to release original music soon.

Aside from my visual artwork, I am a co-founder of XTATX studio — a creative communications studio that supports creative individuals and impact organisations seeking to extend their reach with cutting-edge authenticity.
