In 1986, the Ivory Coast sees being born a wonder of turbulence. On August 30, Jo comes in the world. From an ivorean mother and a swiss father, he takes the plane two years later with all his family for the country of the mountains.
His spontaneous character and his powerful temperament will make of him a child of a vitality sometimes too much overflowing. In order to control all this promptness, his mother registers him for musical introductory lessons. Good bet, Jo shows very early some interest for the music and even decides to choose his instrument of predilection: the guitar. Thus, he will work his patterns, his positions and will build his ear on a traditional repertory during six years, first with a private professor, then with the academy of Neuchâtel.
Early, he discovers his own voice in the songs that he hears in lessons of music, in films of Walt Disney, in the choral society of the school and everywhere he can hear someone singing. Instinctively, he listens and repeats what he hears. Thus he learns gradually to sing. Quite naturally, he decides to sing with the guitar. But Jo is not ready yet for the scene. It will have to wait until 2001, when it is decided to replace the traditional party of his village by the Festival of the music, so that he finally tries. He meets a young accordionist and singer, Marc-Antoine and proposes to him to participate. Armed with a guitar, an accordion and their two voices, they take part to the Festival of the music with much of pleasure. One year later in 2002, Jo decides to leave the Academy. He enters a school of modern music, BBM74, and he receives at this occasion his first electric guitar. His professor, Sebastien Gostelli, opens then the horizons of the modern guitar to him. Jo sticks more and more to his instrument. This same year, he decides to live the experiment of the scene with Marc-Antoine again. They modernize their repertory and take a drummer, Jérémy Bertarionne. This small formation makes the first success, but Jérémy leaves the group. Jo then offers the place of the drummer to his newly drumming little brother, Frank. Having taken taste with singing, he decides to record his first disc. He selects five titles of the French-speaking repertory and arrives in the studio of Dominique Cosandier. Then, the group grows. In 2003, a name of group is found: Recorders. They welcome a new guitarist, André. Marc-Antoine takes the bass guitar with a impressive comfortability. In 2004, two singing girls join the Recorders: Angie and Julie. This year is successful for the Recorders and they will obtain various opportunities for 2005. Unfortunately, it is in 2005, precisely, that Marc-Antoine must leave the Recorders. He is quickly replaced by Nahuel Pascucci and the formation will play its last Festival of music on June 21, 2005. Following a disagreement with the organizers, Jo will categorically refuse to play there again. This year will be the year of the dissolution of the group which will separate after their last concert in November 2005.
However, Jo doesn't remain inactive at all. He sees himself offering contracts for several animations of regional companies. In order to perfect his voice and because he can't afford to follow two instrument simultaneously, Jo forsakes the guitar to take lessons of song with Elizabeth Brown. Consequently, he takes part in the concerts of BBM74 as a singer and is found placed under the lights of several important scenes. Then, hesitating initially, he finally decides to register for a contest of song organized by Street Concept. There he will meet Julie and Dominique Cosandier again. Even if Jo doesn't obtain success, he is not classified any far of it and decides to do it again the following year with Julie. They meet Angie and all three end up being classified finalists. The final is showed in the casino of Freiburg. The first ten singers are declared gaining. Jo is classified eleventh. He makes the decision to stop the contests there and he starts to write and compose. At the end of 2005, the things get quicker in the good direction. He takes part to a training lesson organized in the buildings of BBM74 after which he decides to stop the song to return to his first love : He returns to the guitar with Julien Revilloud, his new professor, in order to be able to enter a professional school. He decides so to stop completely to sing. Somehow, spontaneously, he presents himself at a casting for musical RENT, more for curiosity that for any ambition. With great surprise, he is retained for one of the main characters. Happy and conscious of his luck, he works hard in order to give the best of himself. The repetitions are directed by Jerome Ricca for the roleplay, Cathy Francovitch for the dance and Elizabeth Brown for the song. In 2006, Jo decides to offer help to the young artists which would not have been likely yet to make their first scene. He creates an association with some friends he met : Cool Up Association. By this association, he wants to create for the others what he would have liked that one creates for him, i.e. a structure of assistance to the launching of the young talents, without looks like the TV shows like “Nouvelle Star” or “Star Academy”. Resolutely openmind, he wants Cool Up to be addressed as well to the musicians as to the other fields of artistic expressions.
At the spring of this same year, the representations arrive. They will be held in the Theatre du Passage in Neuchâtel, then in the Théatre Populaire Romand. For Jo, this is a dream which is realized. The comedy is greatly promoted : it passes on TVs and radios. Everything is made to promise a beautiful show. In fact, the show is a success and Jo itself receives many good criticisms about his own roleplay and about his voice. Jsut finishing to turn with the troup of RENT, Jo is contacted by Sonia Blanc for another role in her original Musical, which is called "Boulevard". Jo did once, why not twice : he accepted with pleasure. From that moment, he will put his voice on the songs of "Boulevard", as chorist or as lead voice. Jo finds interest in all.
Apart from the music, he takes lessons of hip hop and raggajam at Giant Studio.
