Claude

ROCKIN' SINCE ’13

I moved from France to Finland more than 40 years ago and I enjoy life every day there.

Although I became an active Finnish speaker, I never stopped loving the French language, which I occasionally taught in Helsinki, and I currently write all my lyrics in French.

I especially love composing melodies on top of my own lyrics. Writing a song is a very long-term yet fascinating activity, which is always rewarded in the end, as is the work of most craftsmen.

I love translating great songs into French; from Finnish, English or Swedish.

Later on, I published a few of my own cinema scripts and got awarded in a few international movie festival.

Getting a prize from a jury of pros is always a wonderful encouragement.
