Born in Paris and raised in Toulouse, France, Jerome started showing his interest for music by the age of 6. He studied the cello, piano and guitar. As a teenager, he studied Harmony and composing followed by his final instrument, the tenor saxophone.

 

In France, he joined several student bands and studied Bebop with some of the masters in Strasbourg. He learned Portuguese when he went to live in Portugal and started playing for the Jazz Band from the Tuna Academica de Coimbra as a soloist. The band traveled around Portugal and Europe in 1997. During this time, he also joined the Belle Chase Hotel band.

 

In 1998, he came to Brazil and met some of the biggest artists such as Lenine and Filo Machado. Amazed by the nightlife in Sao Paulo, he decided to give up his career as an economist to dive into the music scene. He studied with saxophonist Caca Malaquias (Banda Mantiqueira), Demetrio Lima (Jazz Sinfonica), Rogerio Costa (Aquilo Del Nisso) and Paulo Oliveira (Orquestra Popular de Camara). He took brazilian music and band practice at ULM University of Music being Naylor Proveta Azevedo, Roberto Sion and Luis Miguel Wisnik some of his teachers.
