Pierre is a busy freelance musician drummer percussionist, playing, recording with many people and teaching drums and percussions in schools all around London. Also, Pierre is actually working for the Roundhouse in Camden, The Institute and Folkies Music Shop in Kilburn.

Jazz funk specialist, Pierre is an open minded musician who love playing Rock, Jazz, Hip Hop, Samba, Reggae, Afrobeat, Drum&Bass, Blues, Metal...and any good music for more than 17 years.

Pierre's main project at the moment are LV Project ( Jazz Funk Latin Fusion ), Xsentrick Gemini, a 10 piece jazz-funk-nu jazz band, also , Batusamba Collective( Percussion Batucada Ensemble)with Anna Bengo( Pop-Rock ), The Indie Soul Movment ( World Music ) , and Susana Lang-Lenton( Spanish Pop/ Flamenco).

Pierre is playing Capelle drum kit and Vater drum sticks.



Pierre Hellio est né en 1979 à Saint-Brieuc (Bretagne) où sa passion pour la musique le conduit dès l’âge de 13 ans derrière les toms.

Très vite, le désir de découvrir la scène se fait sentir et Pierre monte quelques groupes de rock avant de s’ouvrir au funk, jazz et autre reggae grâce à la découverte de batteurs tels que Denis Chambers ou Omar Hakim.

Il perfectionne son jeu au sein de l’école Agostini et du Conservatoire de jazz de Saint-Brieuc.

Mais en quête d’une pédagogie moins figée et d’une ouverture vers d’autres cultures et musiciens, Pierre décide de s’expatrier Outre Manche en 2001 afin de parfaire sa formation à la célèbre Drumtech de Londres.

Il y sera élu « Batteur de l’année 2005 » tout en étant diplômé la même année au London College of Music and Media.

Batteur technique et polyvalent, Pierre joue aujourd’hui dans une dizaine de groupes tels que "LV Project","www.corporatedrumming.co.uk" with Mark Walker, "Xsentrick Gemini", "Susana Leng-Lenton", "Christian Fontana".

Ces diverses collaborations lui permettent de se produire régulièrement sur des scènes prestigieuses telles que "Queen Elizabeth Hall", "Shepherd's Bush Empire", "Jazz Café", "Big Chill Festival"... tout en enseignant dans 4 écoles et travaillant pour la Drum Institute de Londres, The Roundhouse a Camden and Folkies music shop.

Pierre joue sur une batterie Capelle ( www.capelledrums.com ) et avec des baguettes Vater, peaux Remo et Protection Racket harware.
