Back to original languageAbout Raphael
Raphael started music in 2002, as a self-taught musician. At that time, he did not have internet and learned everything by himself. He became passionate about Reason v1.0 software. With the support of this virtual mini-studio, he cabled, chose equipment, composed, and arranged. After creating several tutorials and contributing significantly to forums (Reason France), Raphael trained in Logic 9 software, with the goal of opening up to the vast world of plugins.
In 2016, Raphael decided to take the SAE's "Urban Music Certificate" course. He successfully obtained his certificate, impressing the professors with his rigor and the quality of his contributions. The same year, he finished 2nd in the school's MAO competition with a very eclectic track, and was advised to contact Abbey Road studios.
In 2017, Raphael composed and released his first EP: "Particules". He signed with the German label Antarctic Records and it became a best-seller.
In parallel, he did an internship as a sound engineer at the Poisson Barbu studio in the 18th arrondissement of Paris.
The same year, he was contacted by the manager of Antarctic Records to collaborate with the singer Anja Kicken. For this occasion, Raphael composed the track "Face Off", which ranked 1st for several weeks on DJTunes.com, the German and European leader in online electronic music sales.
In 2018, Raphael focused on sound recording, mixing, and mastering for musicians and singers (urban music, pop, French chanson, techno). He took the Activ'Créa training with the objective of realizing his idea of becoming a self-entrepreneur and living from his passion.
In 2019, Raphael took the plunge: he founded 5 Sigma Studio and invested in professional equipment to offer his clients recording, mix-mastering, and MAO training services. Rigorous, curious, pedagogical, benevolent, with a sense of contact and anticipation, he is quickly appreciated.
