Biography

With his main project Alcest and the short-lived Amesoeurs, Neige is considered the inventor of the blackgaze genre.

He has publicly stated that his collaboration with Peste Noire was a juvenile error, done for the sake of creating music, and now disassociates himself from them and other related bands, as he is anti-racist, anti-Nazi, and a supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Trivia

"Neige" means "snow" in French.

He played guitar for Emma Ruth Rundle during her 2015 US tour with Alcest playing several songs on stage with her every night.
He also joined Vampillia on additional vocals during their 2019 European summer tour and did a guest appearance on a Kælan Mikla show in Reykjavík in November 2021.
