Originally training as a jazz guitarist, he developed his composing skills to fit a wide variety of genres including orchestral, electronic, jazz, folk and experimental.

Jean-Loup has written music for a vast array of films and adverts, as well as writing for stage performances, theatre and dance shows. He’s regularly working on Hollywood studio projects (lately Gunpowder Milkshake) as part of Frank Ilfman’s music team and can lend his hand to all manner of genres and projects. Jean-Loup has only recently branched out into the music production side of the industry, which allows him to experiment with different approaches and challenge himself during the composition process. He’s the master of creating atmosphere through his work no matter what the project.

Unsurprisingly, Jean-Loup enjoys spending his free time out at concerts, with his most favourite venue being London’s Barbican Centre.
