His first instrument was the mandolin, which he often borrowed from his brothers before choosing the guitar. This appeal for music became a real passion when he came into contact with other musical styles, which later led him to study musicology at the ENS in Alger. In 2003, he moved to France with a view to perfect his skills in other musical worlds. Today, he supports a number of artists, some of whom inspired him when he was younger.
