HANDS [Biographies]

Since his youth, Allthefingers, has always being passionate by music. After practicing the piano for few years he discovers the guitar and its? advantages in particular its impact on Women!

Years after years he tried harder and harder in order to earn a living by being a guitarist. He plays in many groups, sings on sidewalks, in ballrooms and does some shootings in studio. Then he learns bass, saxophone, comes back to the piano and finally tries percussions.

His favourite music are: rock?n?roll, blues, jazz, those which are directly anchored in our roots. Only musicians who know how to conciliate generosity & sincerity while playing and who aren?t afraid of wetting their shirts on stage make him vibrate.

But one day it was time for him to find a healthy job. ATF will put his artist clothes aside and will fit into a lawyer and business man suite. He always knew that one day or another
he?d come back to it.

Thanks to the "home studio" concept discovery and to his perfect instrument command which have enabled him to keep intact his musical passion, even though according to him ?self music? is as attractive as mind-numbing.

A certain success in the business enabled him to encourage some artists, and to keep a sight on studios and production.

ATF has a great melodist and composer sensitivity. He had never really shown his talents until he met Greg and Rod (except once in a friends CD record but still, it was very shy...).

From that point, the groups driving forces will be ideas and desires.

Even though ATF shares composition arrangements, writing and interpretation with enthusiasm, in Hands, he mainly occupies the position of supervisor.

He has enough detachment to keep on going and to find ideas to stimulate the group when work get slower.
