In 2002 and 2004 at the occasion of the 45th and 47th Grammy Awards Ceremony, as a member of Elvis Costello and the Imposters I was nominated for a total of three Grammy awards, Best Alternative Music Album “Cruel Smile”, Best Rock Album “Delivery Man” and Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal “Monkey to a Man”
In 2019 at the occasion of the 62nd Grammy Awards Ceremony, I was awarded a Grammy for my participation to Elvis Costello and the Imposter’s album Look Now
In 2007, the opera I composed with my partner Muriel Teodori, ʻWelcome to the Voiceʼ, was recorded at Abbey Road Studios for the Deutsche Grammophon label. We gave six performances of Welcome to the Voice at the Chatelet Theater in Paris with Sting, Sylvia Schwartz, Elvis Costello, Anna Gabler, Joe Sumner, directed by Muriel Teodori, who
