I'm a musician and painter living in Paris, France. When I'm not obsessing over existential questions (I am trying to kick the philosophy addiction, but it's not easy)-- I like to rollerblade and bike around this beautiful and enigmatic city.

I was drawn to metaphysics, thinking it might help me to understand the mystical experiences I've had.

I'm naturally drawn to Christian mysticism, Taoism and Buddhism because they are quite existential in outlook.
