Biography

Born in 1977 in Marseille, France, Rémi jousselme started to study guitar at the Gap Conservatoire under Laurent Blanquart with whom he won the René Bartoli Contest dedicated to young guitarists. His musical vocation was therefore uplifted.

Consequently, he decided to broaden his knowledge of the instrument with Gérard Abiton at the "Conservatoire d'Orléans" and after that with Pablo Màrquez at the "conservatoire National de région" of Strasbourg where he passed the Specialization diploma and graduated summa cum laude.

Rémi graduated in musicology from the Aix-en-Provence faculty of arts and holds the Guitar Teacher's State diploma.

He also attended master classes of the guitarists Eric Franceries.

Alberto Ponce, Javier Quevedo, Manuel Barruecco, Marco Socias, John Dearman, Laura Young and was profoundly marked by the teaching provided by the conductors Eric Sobcyk and Pierre-Alain Biget.

Before "Printemps de la Guitare", rémi won the first prize unanimously for the International contests " "Forêts d'Orléans" (2000) and "Carpentras" (2001), and was also the prizewinner of the International contest of Chain (in 2002 in Wroclaw, poland) dedicated to contemporary music performance where he was the only guitarist to participate.

His performance activity already gave him the opportunity to play as a soloist or as a trainee in England, Scotland, Czech Republic, Poland, Belgium, Germany and Spain.
