Originally from the Toulouse region, Jérémy Rollando is a distinctive guitarist and composer whose music draws on a rich and diverse heritage. Son of percussionist Pascal Rollando, he grew up surrounded by renowned artists such as Bernardo Sandoval, Serge Lopez, Renaud Garcia Fons and Kiko Ruiz – key figures of world music and flamenco.

Drawn to the guitar from an early age, Jérémy developed a personal style that blends fire and finesse. A self-taught musician, he refined his musical language when he joined the professional program at Music’Halle in Toulouse in 2014, where he founded the group Terranga and released the album Couleurs Nomades (2017). A curious and generous artist, Jérémy has multiplied collaborations and recordings alongside Agnès Jaoui, Francis Cabrel, Jean-Pierre Mader & Richard Seff, Naïma Chemoul, Sylvain Cazalbou Alsina, and within Baboo Music (Aurélie Cabrel, Esthen Dehut).

He also works as an arranger and guitarist on numerous projects, crossing boundaries between chanson, jazz, Latin and traditional music. In 2022, Jérémy was awarded the Prix Nougaro – Région Occitanie in the Instrumental Music category for his composition Altitude. In March 2023, he released his debut solo album, La Montgolfière – a sensitive, journeying world where jazz, flamenco, classical music and Mediterranean influences intertwine.

For this project, he surrounded himself with a trio of leading musicians from the Toulouse scene: Jean-Luc Amestoy (accordion, piano), Pascal Rollando (percussion), and Emmanuel Forster (double bass). His new album, ZEF, continues this musical adventure. Alongside his faithful crew, he invites a number of prestigious guests: Bernardo Sandoval, Serge Lopez, Cuarteto Taf, Guillaume Lopez, Pablo Fagundes, and the string quartet Les Impromptueuses.
