User:Chris Azoeuf
Hello ! My name is Chris(tian) Azoeuf.
I'm new at Wikipedia so bear with my small experience and my lack of correct procedures.
I started contributions to the Wikipedia with some articles about Punk rock in Belgium in the late 70's, as it was a very fun period for me.
As I'm interested in numerous things, I may get around a lot in this wikistuff...
Althought I'm a native French-speaking person, I prefer to use English in this Internet environment just because English is much more commonly spoken/read/written and I'm quite comfortable with it.
Cheers

Born in 1959 in Namur (city), a city in Wallonia, Belgium.
I'm been living in Brussels for quite some time now.
I've done lots of things in my life. After studying photography, I worked in a factory, in TV and radio stations, in audio recording studios, in sound for theatre shows and rock concerts, in a youth hostel, as express courrier, in the hotel industry and finally, in the Internet industry.
In 1987-1988 I traveled for a year throughout Canada and the US.
I started to create websites in 1995 and in 1999, I made it my main job. Since then, I created dozens of websites, most of them are built dynamic and databases (MS SQL Server and MS Access). My favorite scripting language since 1998 is Macromedia ColdFusion which is a great language for fast coding and is so flexible.
Music
I'm very eclectic in my musical tastes. I first hit the rock'n'roll craze when I was 11 years old with Eloise from Barry Ryan. Then followed chronologically (just quoting a few): The Beatles, the Glam rock wave, hard rock (Alice Cooper, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, etc.), Progressive rock, Woodstock, flower power, country music, protest songs, folk music, blue grass, jazz, free-jazz, jazz-rock, reggae, punk rock, ska, rockabilly, salsa, etc.
My favorite of all and forever: The Ramones!
I formed my first punk rock band in 1977 named The Razors (lead vocals). Then followed in 1979 Acné Juvénile (lead vocals and rythm guitar), then The Charts (lead vocals and rythm guitar), then Index (backup vocals and rythm guitar) then a last band for which I don't recall the name (...) (lead vocals and bass guitar). I stopped making music around 1983-84 and now, I can hardly play a few basic chords on my accoustic guitar... and, just don't mention singing...
