Occupation
Musician, Saxophonist
Born to a pair of French/African Immigrants in the 80's, Alban from a young age found himself enamoured by the prospect of the stage, getting his first taste of performance arts as part of his high-school's marching band he quickly outshined his peers in the field of music however.
Throughout his teens he began playing local bars and events around the state of Mississippi, making a name for himself as a master of the Saxophone, legends regarding his skill with the instrument, this would culminate with his group the 'Hornettes' recording two albums with a Mississippi based record studio in the late 90's to early 2000's it was also around this time he would meet a woman whom he would marry in 2001, but it was not to last...
His luck would begin to shift for the worse in August of 2005, with the arrival of Hurricane Katrina, Alban and his wife had settled in down south in the city of New Orleans for their 4th anniversary and were driving back to their hotel when their car had been swept up in a flash flood, Alban himself being swept through the vehicles sunroof but unfortunately his wife had not been so lucky.
Now a widower Alban would fall into a grave depression, turning to booze funded by his musical career, this would come to a head in 2011 when he was arrested at a bar for a drunken fight with another patron, now with a criminal record on his name his bandmates in the hornettes eventually would cut ties with him due to his self-destructive and short tempered attitude brought on by his alcoholism.
Washed up, and now a solo act he returns to New Orleans, selling his home and assets in Mississippi and moving into a studio apartment in the French Quater, hoping to make one final hoorah for himself...
