Stéphane Wrembel is a
French born jazz guitarist currently residing in New Jersey. Wrembel is best
known as a composer and performer of Gypsy Jazz, but is also heavily influenced
by world music.
Wrembel studied
classical piano from age four in Fontainebleau, France, winning prizes in the
Lucien Wurmser competition and at the National Conservatory of Aubervillier, before taking up the guitar at age sixteen in order "to learn Pink Floyd
songs, Led Zeppelin, old Genesis, and all that stuff."
While attending the
American School of Modern Music in Paris, Wrembel went to the Django Reinhardt
Festival in Samois, France where he was inspired to study composition
arranging, jazz and contemporary classical music. Upon graduation, Wrembel was
awarded a scholarship to the Berklee College of Music, graduating summa cum
laude in music performance.
