From Tárrega to Jazz

Ludo Michaud

Born in Paris, France, Ludo Michaud started playing the guitar at the age of 6. After a few years of intensive practice with professor Maciej Glugla, he won the admission competition of the Regional Conservatory of Paris and studied in the class of Pedro Ibanez, while learning Jazz guitar in parallel.

Passionate about Audio and Video technologies, Ludo left the conservatory after graduating from it, to study Video Engineering in Valenciennes, on the French/Belgian border, and eventually joined an Austrian Video Streaming Engineering startup in its early days. This adventure led him to spend the past decade living in the Austrian Alps, Vienna, then Denver.

Between ski trips and hours of computer programming, Ludo started to build an ever evolving repertoire including Tarrega, Barrios, Jorge Morel, S.L Weiss, Villa Lobos, Ponce, as well as some personal jazz transcriptions of famous pop songs, while continuing to reflect on his musical approach and learn from the great guitarists of our time as he develops his own musical identity, sound and technique.
