  • Bio

    Born in france 1970 / grown up in Polynesia, started the music by learning to play "Ukulele" at the age of 9, and then, guitar by twelve with local bands in Tahiti. In 1988, back to France for university in Marseille and joined an alternative rock band ; "Exclusivit Korps" for first professional gigs - 3 compilations and one album (autoprod), making tours and festivals. From 1992 to 1996 : Playing with cover bands (Carpe Diem) - rock and blues, revisiting all the 70's (led zep, Jimy Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, ...) And recorded an album in trio "Funky stars", under the name of "Chrislh Blues Gang" 1999. Then bored of too much energy and electricity, stoped completly to play electric and begun to play acoustic with african traditional musicicans. A collaboration with a griot from Senegal, Meissa M'BAYE (Kunta Kinte) - LP "Night in Casamance", Fremaux & ass - Nigh and day (1997), featuring Bruno ROUSSELET (ctb), Sekou DIABATE (guit), and others world and jazz musicians. 2 years of african 6/8 (Mandingue, Mbalax) to find a new bluesy and roots guitar style. In 1999, in Gabon - on a tour with a salsa band (Son del Gazo), and met Pape NZIENGUI, a Nganga (shaman Mitsogho) playing a little traditional Harp : The "Ngombi". Came back after the tour to capture a part of that traditional art, with computers and microphones. 9 months there to understand a bit of that strange and deep pygmee music and prepare two albums (Disoumba et les enfants du voyage - vol. 1 & 2). A new collaboration with Annie Flore BATCHIELLILYS has begun in Gabon - involved in her 2d album "Diboty", made in Lyon in 2001. This album was a revelation for the Gabonese and african public and won an african international award (KORA - best new african talent) in south africa - Johannesbourg / 2002. The tropicals experiences are longer, a chapter in thrugh the USA in New york, New Orleans and Memphis as well ... playing with Coco ROBICHAUX, Sonny LANDRETH who gave him his love for the slide guitar. Always searching for different styles of sound, hunting since more than 10 years, and working in many situations, not only on stage or in studio but to learn technic as well. A sound engineer, a producer needs to know basics so ... That technical period of 3 years backstage, was very positive. From 2001 to 2007 : On the middle east market as sound engineer, sound designer for special events, and music composer for shows, opening ceremonies (dubai Shopping fest 2001 / 2005 with Deep Forest) - (Dubai World Cup / 2006) - ( Jumana secret of the desert / 2006 with Omar Shariff as story teller, music produced by Mick LANARO / Jean MUSY) Actualy developping interests in Malagaschi and indian oean music, starting a collaboration with young talents from that part of the world, and developping projects with indian production companies in the traditional and world music, movie music.

    Salut,
    Nouvel Album de Jack Dupon, Démon Hardi, sortie en Janvier, la presse en parle déjà!!! Deux morceaux en écoute sur notre page et l'intégralité de notre précédent l'échelle du désir en téléchargement gratuit!!!!!
    et pour votre plaisir notre dernier clip... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hDKXaNkv8Q
    Christophe MANHES-Progressia:
    ... Sobre, énergique et énigmatique, cette seconde livraison studio du quatuor atteint un niveau d'excellence totalement inattendu... avec une musique maîtrisée dans toutes ses composantes, entraînant aux frontières d’un autre monde, entre fantasmagories et réalisme cru... transpercent la réalité à l'aide d'une inspiration poétique noire et absurde. Comble du bonheur, la production absolument parfaite permet de pénétrer le mystère... Jack Dupon délivre un avant-prog accessible et irréprochable, qui met en valeur un langage et un sens du récit proprement inouïs. Bien nommé, Démon Hardi est un joyau qui rassure sur la capacité de quelques artistes d'aujourd'hui à sortir des sentiers battus...
    Sebastien MONTEAUD-Crescendo Festival:
    ... Bon je confirme ce que je pensais déjà: après 10 écoutes le nouveau JACK DUPON, Demon Hardi, est un très grand album!
    Gérard VERNIER-Zikannuaire:
    ... La galette se déguste, se contemple avec cet accroissement de sensations rangées et dérangeantes que l'on savoure le cul posé au fond de son fauteuil, les yeux fermés... Ça virevolte, se trémousse et dérape sans arrêts... Ça vole haut, à la limite de la stratosphère à se demander ou se trouve la limite musicale de Jack Dupon...
    Aude BLIRANDO-La Montagne:
    ... Après une soirée où « Démon Hardi » pouvait se lire sur toutes les lèvres, Jack Dupon a clôturé la fête en offrant un concert des plus torride!... La démarche artistique de la formation s’explique par ce sentiment d’être traquée par une soif intarissable de créer sans cesse quelque chose de nouveau, d’aller à la rencontre du monde, de l’écouter, de monter sur scène … e t d’ouvrir les vannes!... Un parfum ocre et roux avec une pointe de houblon se diffuse et la température grimpe…
    Jean-Pierre LHOIR-Music in Belgium:
    ... l’auditeur sent immédiatement qu’il se trouve face à quelque chose de supérieur... C’est un régal permanent. Le chant reste insensé... La tension monte graduellement pour atteindre l’emballement... C’est un régal permanent... Le chant reste insensé. Basse et batterie dépassent le simple soutien rythmique... Les guitares sont à la fête. Magnifiques, elles jouent chacune leur pièce... Outre une production impeccable, le niveau de l’interprétation reste toujours élevé. Ça déborde de tous les côtés, mais sans jamais s’égarer....
    Yann Gougeon-Vapeur mauve-Rock6070:
    ...Je peux vous le dire comme ça, aussi sec : cet album surpasse de loin le premier tout en restant dans le même style. Il sera fort probablement dans mon top 3 2011. Y a des signes, comme ça, qui ne trompent pas...
