In early 2000, he composed his own songs and writes, in particular, Rue des Souffrances, a song featured on his first LP. At this time, he met Maurice Vallet, who wrote with Julien Clerc, and he also wrote some texts for him.

The other extracts were written by Laura Bismuth, Sabine Cardinal, Maurice Vallet and David Zana. Love is the recurrent theme – love of a woman, love of life or love of the other. The titles are often to the sound of banjo-guitar and the lyrics, optimistic, are in the true French music tradition of years 2000.
