as charlie,
i trained as a graphic designer 
with thomas huot-marchand and yorgo tloupas,then worked as an art director 
at magazine magazine with angelo cirimele

as qoso,
i’ve been DJing for 20 years 
— from turntablism to the Paris club scene.
i’ve released vinyles, CDs and cassettes 
on indie labels in france and the uk : in paradisum,
dawn records, promesses, the trilogy tapes

after years designing magazines, 
visual identities and art direction 
for beauty brands
i’ve decided to connect my image expertise 
with my music practice

sonic identities
