BIO

Christophe is a classical violinist, pianist, composer, arranger as well as a singer/songwriter from Luxembourg.
His musical training began at the local music school in Echternach and had soon been continued at the Conservatoire of the City of Luxembourg. His passion for composing music himself had already emerged in his childhood and earned him a first prize in the composition competition ‘Artistes en herbe’ in 2010.
After completing his musical education in the Grand-Duchy and eager to go out into the world, Christophe decided to pursue his violin studies abroad. Starting out in Graz (AT), he completed the bachelor’s degree at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music (AU), followed by a master’s degree in Barcelona (ES) the year after. So far, his live performances have included concerts as a soloist and chamber musician in all 3 disciplines, singing, violin and piano.
In recent years, Christophe had become more and more interested in songwriting as well as writing lyrics. This is why he decided to take on another master’s degree in Popular Music Practice at BIMM Berlin (DE). Eight of his own productions have been officially released since 2021. He also appears as a violinist and singer in one scene in the award-winning movie Corsage (2022) by Marie Kreutzer.
Since February 2023, Christophe is a part-time radio presenter and journalist in the classical music department of Luxembourgish radio station radio 100,7 + opus 100,7.
