Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPierre Durand is a Paris-based guitarist, composer and bandleader with 14 years of professional experience spanning jazz, blues and world music. A CNSM prize-winner and multiple competition laureate, he leads projects from solo guitar improvisations around New Orleans to his acclaimed ROOTS 4tet and recent album releases. He has collaborated with international luminaries such as Archie Shepp, Amina Claudine Myers and the Orchestre National de Jazz, and his work ranges from intimate duo songcraft to large ensemble arrangements. Equally at home teaching at conservatoires and creating concert-conferences for diverse audiences (including prisons), he blends performance, composition and pedagogy. Unexpectedly tech-savvy, he has contributed backend work to open-source projects—implementing features and caching strategies in both PHP (Elastica) and a Go image server—bringing a detail-minded, systems approach to musical projects. His career is marked by cross-genre curiosity, rigorous formal training and a taste for collaborative musical risk.
