Hobbies & Interests

Sports

As I grew up in a city ranked in French Handball‘s First Division, I’ve been playing it at school every year between 2010 and 2017.

I’ve also practiced Judo between 2007 and 2011, up until my Orange-Green belt.

From 2013 to 2021, I’ve been into hip-hop dancing. My practice has been cut in different active periods of times, as I often had to focus on my studies. I’ve had classes with two companies, and have been a member of two dance crews. I’ve also participated in several dance battles and live performances.
This experience in dancing was particularly useful during my experience on Just Dance at Ubisoft Paris.

Since my high school’s graduation, I’ve been doing cross-training, running, cycling and working out occasionally as I want to keep good health and cardio.
I’ve completed my first Half-Marathon in Paris in September 2021.

Arts

Cinema

I’ve also developed an interest for Cinema growing up, and as a few people from my family & friends circle work in this industry.
As Letterboxd rose in popularity, I created my account back in 2020, and started logging ever since.
Here’s a link to my profile, and 6 of my favorite movies, sorted by alphabetical order:

Beasts Clawing at Straws by Kim Yong-hoon, The Farewell by Lulu Wang, Gagarine by Fanny Liatard and Jérémy Trouilh, Isle of Dogs by Wes Anderson, Sorry To Bother You by Boots Riley and Uncut Gems by Joshua Safdie and Benny Safdie.

Music

I tend to have an extended interest in Music. As dancing is one of my passion, I obviously listen to a lot of music. My favorite genres are Rap, R&B, Soul, Pop and Funk. I also often listen to Electro, Alternative and Indie.

My favorite albums of 2025 were:

Eusexua and Eusexua Afterglow by FKA Twigs, Essex Honey by Blood Orange, Let God Sort ‘Em Out by Clipse, BLACK STAR by Amaarae, The BPM by Sudan Archives, Fancy That by PinkPantheress and Through The Wall by Rochelle Jordan.

I’ve also been working on music recommendations and concerts reviews both on my TikTok my personal TikTok account as well as for the online zine Tonitruale. Since I’ve started, I have now produced around 200 videos amassing about 200k+ views.

You can find below the Spotify Playlist for my most popular playlist promoting indie music: Lesser-Known Musical Gems.

Art Session

From September 2023 to June 2024, I’ve been part of the Centre Pompidou’s Art Session collective. This initiative has existed since 2008, and recruits yearly a new group of young adults interested in Art mediation.
Our missions were to learn about that subject, meet the various Pompidou workers and employees, as well as the exhibits’ artists and curators and help building a bridge between marginalized communities and Art.
We also organized and participated in workshops and events which took place inside the Centre Pompidou.

Loisirs Numériques

Around the end of 2018, I became a member of the non-profit organization Loisirs Numériques, and have been an active member for about two years.

Loisirs Numériques created different events and initiatives, such as the Bourse Jeux Vidéo that raises funds to provide scholarships to students with financial difficulties, the Covideogames, a livestream that raised funds for Doctors Without Borders, in order to help against the Covid-19 pandemic, or our most well-known event, the French version of the Desert Bus For Hope.

This particular project is one that I’ve spent quite a bit of time on, as I’ve participated in both 2019 and 2020 editions. The Desert Bus For Hope is a 60-hours charity livestream during which guests and hosts talk and have fun while playing the most boring game of all time: the Desert Bus. The funds we raise during the event goes to Les Petits Princes, a charity that make dreams come true for kids with health issues.
