Here’s a little biography about moi.
I am born in Thonon-Les-Bains (France) on the 18th of February 1980. I grew up normally, without any health problem. I just jump about 16 years, because nothing really important happened (after that either, to be honest). I have always been a quiet kid, really no trouble, very well behaved. For my 16th birthday, I bought an electric guitar and an amp from one of my brother’s friend. I then taught myself guitar by buying tablatures and playing along with my CDs.
I also played in a few bands, my very first one being called Insane. We were playing covers of various bands (from the Offspring to Sepultura). I then played in a few more rock bands before joining a blues - rock band lead by my uncle. Our band was called “Les Filets De Perche”, which is a fish-based dish typical from my region in France. We played one gig only in a pub and had a fantastic time. We played stuff like the Beach Boys, the Beatles, Credence Clearwater Revival, Jimi Hendrix, and other various 70’s rock bands.
Then I had to leave my region to go to study science. This was for 3 years until 2001, when it was time to look for a job. I decided to go to the UK (a young lady was involved in the decision though).
Things started to change radically when I arrived in the UK in October 2001, and I actually started my life here alone (because the previously stated young lady decided to dump me after 2 years of good and loyal services).
From 2001 to 2003, I built up my life here. I found a job in a research lab working on asthma, and I also built up a social life with friends from all over the world.
I discovered magic in August 2003, while walking through the Camden market. I was fairly interested in magic, but only on a spectator level, but in this market I thought I could actually try myself at performing magic, by purchasing a magic trick. I practiced it and got hooked on it. Then, I just kind of focused on it, unfortunately putting drawing and music aside. I just played guitar occasionally, and drew the occasional birthday card.
Now it is 2005, and I changed drastically as a person, thanks to magic. It allowed me to gain confidence in who I am, and also allowed me to meet plenty of fantastic people. My vision of life changed a lot, so did my relationship with people. The shy, frustrated Jerome turned into the cool relaxed and cheeky Jerome. That is who I am nowadays, and I wouldn’t change it for anything.
Now I try to draw more and to practice more on my guitar as I am ok at magic. I also try to make a career out of magic, but I do not take it too seriously. This is more of an added extra for me. But if it opens up new horizons, I say why not ?
Anyway, that is what happened to me in a nutshell. I do not want to bore you any further, because I made this site to have fun, and for people to have fun browsing it. So here you go… Enjoy, have fun and take it easy.
