Régis was born on the 15th of January 1950 in Paris, France.
At this time, his two grandfathers are musicians.
One plays classical trombone and violin, the other one is drummer
in the "guinguettes" balls. By the age of 5 he is already captured by
the sounds of percussion instruments and starts to play drums at 6.
As a teenager, he studies art and graphism in Paris, but at the same time
he's always keeping an eye on music, his main passion. That's when he
becomes a "multi-instrument" player, playing flute, guitar and
piano with his friends. But at this time, particularly guitar with two
of them who will become quiet famous: Marc Bozonnet who became
guitar player with Johnny Hallyday and Hugues Aufray, and
Marc Fosset, faithful jazz guitarist for 20 years with Mr Stéphane Grapelli.
After few years playing guitar, mostly for recording sessions, Régis is
discovering the musical writing. He's caught!
Then, he decides to put his guitars back in them cases and become an
arranger.
His arranger / conductor career begins in 1975 with a contract from an
international record company.
Since then, he has worked with leading music artists in France, travelled
all around the planet as the arranger / conductor for Richard Clayderman
concerts during 14 years, and has orchestrated and/or conducted for
many recordings, in the last period mainly for Motion Picture Sound
Tracks and very known french and foreign artists.
