Stephane Wrembel

Intro
Gypsy jazz guitarist

Stéphane Wrembel is a French jazz guitarist. Wrembel performs Gypsy jazz but is also 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 Aubervilliers, before taking up the guitar at age sixteen "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. After graduation, Wrembel was awarded a scholarship to the Berklee College of Music.

His song "Big Brother" appeared on the soundtrack for Woody Allen's film Vicky Cristina Barcelona. In 2011 he again collaborated with Allen, composing "Bistro Fada", the theme song for Allen's film Midnight in Paris.

Wrembel is a fan of David Lynch's television program Twin Peaks.
