Pierre-Yves Le Jeune

Pierre-Yves Le Jeune, double bass player.

With an accordionist grandfather and a chorister mother, Pierre-Yves grew up in Britany, in the heart of a rich and unique popular cultural environment.
After studying multiple instruments (piano, cello, electric bass, percussion, flute ...) Pierre-Yves opts for the double bass at the age of 15.

He first studied at the Brest conservatory and then moved to Paris to devote himself fully to music. A few years of intense learning followed, during which he continued his musical studies with Jean-Baptiste Pelletier for double bass and Jean-Michel Bardèz and Bruno Plantard for writing and analysis.
In 2000, he obtained "full scolarship" to study at the prestigious Berklee music college in Boston. After a short stay in the US marked by precious meetings and strong musical experiences, Pierre-Yves returns to Paris to develop personal and original projects mixing jazz, world music and electro.
