His first theorbo was one he built himself, like many lutenists of his generation. He then continued as an autodidact, taking advice from lutenists such as Hopkinson Smith, Konrad Junghänel, Anthony Bailes, Guy Robert and Paul O'Dette.

His main source of inspiration has been the many players, singers, dancers, conductors and actors with whom he has worked. His humanistic outlook on the relations between the different arts and crafts prompted him to research the interpretation of various lute repertoires, ranging from the 15th to the 18th centuries.

He has performed, as a lutenist or theorbist, in many baroque ensembles, including La Grande Ecurie et la Chambre du Roy, the Ensemble Baroque de Limoges, Musica Barocca of London, the Ensemble Européen William Byrd, the Ensemble Baroque de Nice, the Ensemble Stradivaria, La Maîtrise de Caen, Akademia, Le Nouvel Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, the Orchestre de l'Opéra de Nancy et de Lorraine, the Orchestre National de Lille, the Orchestre de l'Opéra de Marseille, the Orchestre Philharmonique de Liège, the Académie Sainte Cécile, the Ensemble Marin Marais, A Sei voci, and the Ensemble Matheus.

As a soloist or continuo player, he has taken part in over 50 recordings, some of which have received awards, and has played in concerts in Europe, South America, the United States, China, Africa and Japan. He composed, for the Théâtre du Campagnol, the music for l'Impresario de Smyrne by Goldoni, as well as for the Théâtre des Amandiers production of Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale. He also has worked on several historical films for television and the cinema.
