Brice was born in Narbonne in Southern France. He started to play double bass with Jean Ané and studied further on at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague in the Netherlands under the supervision of bassists Knut Guettler, Hein Van de Geyn, Jean-Paul Everts, Frans van der Hoeven and of the composer Cornelis De Bondt. After his studies, Brice travels to the equatorial rain forest of Cameroon to live with a population of Baka pygmies. When he comes back to Europe, he tours with new music ensembles (f.e. Maurice Horsthuis' string ensemble Jargon) and plays improvised music and jazz. Today, B.S. focuses principally on his creative collaborations with musicians such as Harmen Fraanje, Toma Gouband, Ben Sluijs, Joachim Badenhorst... Brice is one of the founders of the label ASTROPI and has about 30 albums to his record.”Soniano is one of the most imaginative and expressive bassist I happened to came across lately and his work on this album is a superb example of the role of the bass in contemporary music; no longer a background support but a soloist of equal standing and importance to the other band members. His tone, technique and ability to converse with his cohorts is nothing short of miraculous.” Adam Baruch, September 2015, review about ‘Songbook’, Astropi #1502“Give that man a note and he makes poetry out of it” - Guy Peters
