Laurent Biollay is an impossible to miss in the pro music scene
in Switzerland. This drummer from Lausanne plays brilliantly in many different
projects, exploring various styles. Rock, hip hop, soul or jazz, he loves the
diversity of techniques and experiences.
His advanced studies have allowed Laurent to acquire his present
technical level. He studied classical percussion at the conservatory and took
classes with Stéphane Borel, Marcel Papaux and Olivier Clerc.
Thanks to his talent, this relentless hard-working musician is
part of many diverse and successful projects: SENS UNIK (the mythical hip hop
band from Switzerland with numerous gold records), A FEW GOOD MEN (the big funk
band from Switzerland which Laurent initiated), and STRESS (the gold record winning
new hop hop Swiss star).
He is also part of new promising projects like ZORK, DEBORAH (solo
project from the singer of Sens Unik), GUESS WHAT and EXPLOSIVE DRUM. As a result,
Laurent has toured widely, all over Switzerland and abroad, in the most prestigious
clubs and international festivals (Mantreux Jazz Festival, Paleo, Gurten, Transmusicales
in Rennes, Eurosonica in Holland, Open Air St Gallen, Midem in Cannes, Eurockéennes
in Belfort, BAM in Barcelona, Printemps de Bourges, New Music Seminar in New
York, etc.)
Besides this considerable live activity, Laurent passes on his
passion and his technical skills by teaching drum classes at the famous jazz
school in Lausanne (EJMA).
Laurent has kept the same burning passion for music. He is always
curious and connected to new sounds, which enable shim to evolve with time. This
accomplished musician is constantly seeking to improve, in order to continue
forwards. His success and fame have convinced MAPEX DRUMS and Paiste Cymbals
to endorse him and they have been renewing their collaborations for the past
10 years.
