With 8 albums released, tracks on over 300 compilations that have sold over 2 million copies and a nomination for best TV advert music, Christophe Goze has become a leading future world and ambient Jazz musician.
French Catalan born and raised in Paris, Christophe comes from a family of professional classical musicians. His musical journey began when entering the CIM, a prestigious jazz music school in Paris. Here Christophe studied Guitar and Harmony full time for two years. Within a year he was signed to Polydor France by A&R Philippe Cohen Solal, the man now behind The Gotan Project.
In 1989 Christophe moved to Japan where he lived for 7 years. It was here that his career really gained pace - he signed a publishing deal with EMI/Virgin Publishing and domestic label Alpha Records. TV commercial work included clients such as McDonalds, Shiseido, Honda, Nissan, Mitsubishi and many more. Staying consistently busy, he signed a new record deal in 1994 with Nippon Columbia and released two more albums.
In 1996 Christophe decided to move back from Japan to the UK and by 2000, he had become an established figure in the British TV industry as ‘Mr World Music’. He produced library music albums for Cavendish, Boosey & Hawkes and BMG in the UK, and Abaco in the States. A major highlight has been receiving a prestigious nomination as best TV commercial music at the 2001 British TV and Cinema Advertising Awards for his music on the Lynx TV advert.
