Name : Jérôme AUTENZIO
Birthdate : 30 / 07 / 1979
Instrument : Bass guitar

Jérôme Fernand AUTENZIO, a.k.a."G", was born in Suresnes (92) and, inspired by his mother, he approaches music by singing when he's 8. He then turns toward guitar by taking his father's instrument (brand new, never played) but in the end he decides and chooses bass guitar, a good old 4 strings. After several years of practice he begins to apply what he learned and throw himself into a band influenced by Nirvana... until this fateful day when he and the guitarist discover the passion for Heavy-Metal while listening to bands like Iron Maiden, Helloween, Angra, W.A.S.P. and so on...

This passion is problematic at that time. Indeed he starts bass guitar in 1993 when radio waves are invaded by Hip-Hop and Rap. This new trend not only crushes his brain but also his first drummer who threads his cap, his track suit and quits the band to get involved in that musical style.

But therefore Jérôme is not discouraged and continues his path in the world of Rock. He joins the band Bums and then sets up Versus which will later become The Versus. After he quits this band, he explores music, goes from one band to another, sharpens his technique and discovers a new style by playing with Ansurun : Breton Folk Rock !

At last, afetr having sent small ads over the internet, he's contacted by the band Black Stripe in which he meets Nico and Aurélien. After a year of gigs and recording, these three new mates quit the band, eager to write some real heavy sound. At the end of 2004, Jérôme founds Eleventh Plague with Nicolas and Aurélien.

G likes sport (especially on TV), women (epsecially his), his son, music of course, horror and comic films and he takes a malicious pleasure to scare old women in the street ! Aside of this, some things in life hiritate him such as coldness, hip-hop, the Star Academy and Nikos, racism and guitarists-solist-singer-author-compositor-interpet-autodidact...
