The renowned pianist Aldo Ciccolini invited him to perform for the first time in Paris, at Salle Gaveau, in 1989.

Since then, he has pursued an active career in France and abroad, performing in piano duos, chamber music ensembles, and as a soloist, and has shared the stage with numerous acclaimed vocal artists.
