Jérôme is a classical and jazz pianist and composer. He is also an accomplished improviser. He is a choir coach and V&J Ensemble commissioned his first piece ‘Winter’ in 2011, written in collaboration with the poet and lyricist Marion Turner. They have co-created a major work, ‘Four Seasons’, but also shorter pieces like ‘Last Cigarette at the Café’. Jérôme is currently recording an EP, his next project with the lyricist Chris Sutton: a series of dark, romantic and poetic underground songs.
