Born in Paris and raised in southern France. I wrote my first C program at 12—a primitive, rule-based chatbot. At 15, I became France’s youngest private pilot after completing my first solo flight in a Cessna 152 aircraft.

One year later, I sold my first website for €2,000. At 19, I completed a BSc in Computer Science at University College London. That same year, Denis and I decided to merge our passions for music and technology and co-founded AIVA, driven by the conviction that AI would eventually enable anyone to create music. At 21, I gave a TED Talk on how AI could compose personalized soundtracks to your life.
