Brought up in a musical family, Philippe Glandien began his musical career at the age 5 playing violin. In the course of his adolescence, he autodidactically learned guitar, bass guitar, and drums and gained experience as a performing musician, leadsinger, and songwriter in various rock bands. At the age of 18, he re-discovered his love for classical music and taught himself to play piano.

To combine his two passions – Rock and Classical music –, in 2006, he founded Sinfuria – The Warchestra, a later to be 10-strong Progressive Metal ensemble, in which he – as its director and arranger/score-writer, as well as guitarist and one of three composers – placed classical instruments and dramatic structures in a Metal band context. Sinfuria was active live until 2012, and persists today as a studio project.
