Yann is a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (Oscars.org). Growing up in West Africa, Yann dreamed of becoming a sound designer in Tinseltown. A TV addict at 9, with no television at home, he was forced to hang out with neighbors so he could watch his favorite shows. Yann got his first Mac in the 80's and fell hard for his little computer. After a short stint hitting the skins for the seminal trash rock band Poubelle, Yann resumed chasing his dream of cutting rad sounds for films, on a Mac. He quickly moved to Paris, Montreal, Toronto but his sights were always on Los Angeles. He arrived in West Los Angeles in the glorious 90's, a time when banks would lend you money if you had a pulse, and so he bought a house on the Westside, best thing he ever did. The equally best thing that happened is : he opened his heart and got married and stayed married, to the same woman! "First you get the money then you get the woman" isn't that what the man says ? Then what ? Then you score a love pad in Paris ! which we did. In the digital Wild West of the LA post scene, Yann proceeded to learn everything he knows working for the most uncompromising directors in Hollywood, Michael Mann, Peter Berg, Brett Ratner, to name a few ; Guys famous for turning their post-production process into absolute angst fests that deliver cinematic magic. Yann still spends countless hours in dark rooms surrounded by enormous screens creating sounds for similarly OCD directors. He is close to achieving Nirvana in Hollywood, but his obsession with sound could get in the way.
