The Parisian’s interest in music started when he sung in a gospel choir at 17. Singer, guitarist and harmonicist, he has a passion for blues, jazz, rock and world music.

After an education at Saint Louis Jazz School, he continued his path at Jazz School CIM and Atla School for contemporary music in Paris. Touring with Carla Bruni and being invited to various jazz and blues festivals, Pasi quickly made a name for himself.

Writing his own music, he attracted the attention of professional musicians and filmmakers who entrusted him to make the soundtracks for Actrices by Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi and Yann Moix’s Cineman. His first album Mainly Blue was unanimously welcomed in the musical community and made it to the final of the Memphis International Blues Challenge in February 2007.

He will perform crowd favorites such as Up to us, Better with butter, Farewell my love, Old lady Paris, Lost generation, Things have changed, While you’re dancing, Remember the day, Wild it up, Une berceuse, and Dream a little dream of me in town.

Tickets are available at Idecaf, priced at VND100,000.
