Jean Damei

Jean Damei was born on 7th March 1989 in Grenoble, France and started to play the guitar at the age of 16. After meeting a number of Irish musicians touring and teaching music in the Alps he discovered a passion for this music. At the age of 18, he left Ardeche, his childhood home, to study guitar and flute in the Irish Music and Dance degree course at the University of Limerick. On his return to France, to Lyon in 2011, he decided to explore jazz and funk. He has found much inspiration from these two musical universes, allowing him to accompany Irish melodies in a rich and varied way, and to work with new angles and approaches to the tradition. He is now back in Limerick, studying for an M.A in Irish Traditional Music Performance at the University of Limerick.

Jean Damei est né en 1989 à Grenoble et a commencé la guitare à 16 ans. Après avoir rencontré quelques musiciens Irlandais en tournée- donnant des workshops dans les alpes- il s’est découvert une passion pour la musique traditionnelle Irlandaise. À 18 ans, il a décidé de quitter son Ardèche natale, pour étudier la guitare et la flute traversière dans le cadre du Bachelor of Arts in Irish Music and Dance à l’université de Limerick, en Irlande. À son retour en France, en 2011, il décide d’explorer le Jazz et le Funk sur Lyon. Ces genres musicaux l’ont grandement influencé, lui permettant d’accompagner la musique Irlandaise dans un style riche et varié. Ainsi il a pu développer des nouvelles couleurs musicales dans ce domaine. Il effectue actuellement un Master of Arts in Irish Traditional Music Performance au sein de cette même université.
