François was raised with a deep consideration for music and artists, and the idea that we should enjoy at full the short time we're given here.  His great grandfather, his grandfather, his grandmother, and his father, played respectively the accordion, the banjo, the violin and the guitar.  

François moved to New York in 2004, gave over 3,000 performances in the U.S. and had the opportunity to play at prestigious venues such as the Rainbow Room, B.B. King Blues Club, Cafe Wha?, Jules Bistro and Bar Tabac!
