Caravan Palace founding member. Some solo releases coming to you... Hugo Payen has a strong classical training, before he meets Charles and Arnaud in 2001, with whom he'll play jazz manouche and found Caravan Palace a few years later. Regularly remixing Caravan Palace's songs since then, under his name, or under the codename F:Ill-Y, he finally decides to take a step back from the incredible but exhausting life with Caravan Palace, after 4 albums and around 600 concerts. Nowadays, Hugo Payen is working on an upcoming project, setting music on poems from a famous french poet and writer, Boris Vian.
