Guillaume Azambre is the founder of Longevity Music School, a music school and certified training center dedicated to electronic music and the creative industries, based in Strasbourg.

He is also the programmer of the Longevity Festival, through which he has established himself as a committed figure in the local electronic music scene.

Active in the scene for over twenty years, he develops projects at the intersection of education, artistic creation, and live music promotion.

Through Longevity Music School, he and his team support artists and project leaders with an approach that is both technical, creative, and professionally oriented.

The organization supports artists and project leaders of all levels through professional training, workshops, and immersive formats, closely connected to the realities of the music scene.

Beyond training, Longevity develops an ecosystem combining education, creation, and dissemination (events, residencies, artistic projects), with the aim of building concrete bridges between learning and practice.

Rooted in the Strasbourg area, the organization actively contributes to the development and structuring of the local scene.

Also a DJ, he is involved in the scene through various formats (training programs, events, residencies).

Sébastien Lebray studied musicology at the University of Strasbourg and music (guitar, composition, and musical culture) at the Strasbourg Conservatory from 2003 to 2010. He joined the French National Education system in 2009 after obtaining the agrégation in music. Appointed to the University of Strasbourg since 2014, he has taught courses in composition, music history, analysis, organology, ear training, ensemble practice, and computer-assisted music, with a focus on popular music, his field of expertise.

His research focuses on historicism in pop music, electronic music, and more specifically the French Touch and Daft Punk. As head of the undergraduate program in pop music, he works to strengthen connections between the university and the local cultural environment (concert venues, labels, artists, etc.) through internships, artistic projects, meetings, and teaching collaborations with local music industry professionals.

Alongside his academic work, he is involved in various artistic activities: he was a keyboardist in the band So Called Wise, and is now a singer-songwriter under the name Deer Boy, as well as a composer for visual media.
