Jeff BERNICCHIA
Born in Antibes (French Riviera) Mediterranean family roots (Italian origins from both sides).

Almost self-taught especially regarding the singing, and for piano practising, too, except for the seven first years of classical piano lessons. Later on, F. Grosborne taught me the basis of jazz piano during 2 years .
 Being born among a family who always loved singing and music, due to our mediterranean bounds, way of life and customs, I 've early discovered what music would mean to me.
I 've early felt like I'd like to sing. Or to be a singer.
