Career Overview

About Hadrien Féraud

Féraud’s official biography traces his early development on electric bass and a major 2005 recording invitation from John McLaughlin. It documents later work with Chick Corea, Hiromi, Billy Cobham, Jean-Luc Ponty, Lee Ritenour, and other artists across jazz, rock, R&B, and fusion.[1]

The official music archive separates Féraud’s leader albums from those collaborations. His self-titled debut established his writing and electric-bass voice, while later records and group projects expanded the production and ensemble palette.[1][2]
