Biography

Magalon started playing classical guitar at 12. At 18, he composed the music for the play Couleur de Femmes by Jacques Henrard adapted by Marc Gooris][1] (1993).

After gaining experience with a number of bands Magalon studied at the Jazz Studio][2][3] in Antwerp. Later, he started to play the bass influenced by the modern jazz band Aka Moon and the bassist Michel Hatzigeorgiou.

Magalon has worked with Belgian jazz musicians such as Jeroen Van Herzeele, Bart Defoort,[4] Stephane Mercier,[5] Dominic Ntoumos,[6][7] and musicians from rock and funk like Rudy Lenners (Scorpions), Rudy Trouvé (dEUS, Kiss My Jazz, Dead Man Ray), and Nick Van Gelder.
