Born in France, he was a child prodigy as a pianist, and began working professionally as an accompanist in his teens. He moved to the U.S. in the 1930s and moved from working as an organist in a movie theater to conducting a full theatre orchestra at Loew's in New York. He ran his own dance band briefly, playing in hotels in New York and London, but folded it to move into work in radio. He served as musical director, arranger, and conductor for a variety of CBS radio shows, then switch to television in the late 1940s, working on game and variety shows (remember variety shows?). He was among the early artists signed to Kapp and became their house organist, competing with the others on this list. He also toured as a demonstrator for Conn electronic organs, which he played exclusively on his albums.

Nacido en Francia, fue un niño prodigio como pianista y comenzó a trabajar profesionalmente como acompañante en su adolescencia. Se mudó a los EE. UU. En la década de 1930 y pasó de trabajar como organista en una sala de cine a dirigir una orquesta de teatro en Loew's en Nueva York. Dirigió brevemente su propia banda de baile, tocando en hoteles de Nueva York y Londres, pero la dobló para trabajar en la radio. Se desempeñó como director musical, arreglista y director de orquesta en varios programas de radio de la CBS, luego cambió a la televisión a fines de la década de 1940 y trabajó en programas de juegos y variedades (¿recuerda los programas de variedades?). Fue uno de los primeros artistas que firmaron con Kapp y se convirtió en el organista de su casa, compitiendo con los demás en esta lista. También realizó giras como demostrador de órganos electrónicos de Conn, que tocó exclusivamente en sus álbumes.
