Since 2018, he has been collaborating with Argentine singer An Díaz, forming the quartet An Díaz & Yokatta Brothers. He also performs regularly with Finnish harmonica player Little Willie Mehto and works as a sideman with numerous blues artists across Europe.
Deeply rooted in vintage and acoustic sound aesthetics, Stéphane has recorded at the legendary Sun Studio in Memphis with Jake Calypso under the name The Memphis Blues Cream, alongside iconic Beale Street musicians such as Earl "The Pearl" Banks. He has also recorded in New Orleans with his band.
Passionate about analog sound and traditional recording techniques, he produces and records both analog and digital projects, with a strong focus on authenticity and musical storytelling.
His deep involvement in music naturally led him to develop a parallel photographic practice, focusing on portraits of musicians and visual storytelling within the music world.
