JL Luddeni aka DAWEZ, is a French 2D and 3D Designer, Music composer,

producer, and writer, born in Aubagne, South of France in 1972.

​

Since 2010, after a decade dedicated to his career as a paramedic, JL embarked on a transformative journey into the realm of 3D design. Harnessing his innate creativity and diverse talents, he has passionately immersed himself in the creation and production of unique artistic projects. Growing up in the vibrant south of France within a musical family, JL’s artistic inclinations were nurtured from a young age. At just twelve, he began performing with his parents’ band, Claude Moran, igniting his lifelong love for music.

 

By the age of twenty, JL made a pivotal decision to abandon his architectural studies in favor of pursuing music more seriously, learning to play the bass and focusing on composition. This eclectic background paved the way for his multifaceted career, allowing him to explore various forms of artistic expression including design, illustration, writing, and music.

 

Central to his work are the imaginative worlds of "The Noisy Lights" and "TCR," where he has devoted considerable time to crafting a rich narrative. Within these universes resides "The Farlandes," a mysterious clan established around 1250, believed to be either knights or alchemists who once served King Saint Louis of France. For over a millennium, they have sought to promote peace on Earth through the transformative power of music, art, spirituality, and advanced creativity. JL’s dedication to these projects not only reflects his artistic vision but also his commitment to a legacy of connection and harmony through the arts.

Profondly intrigued by Edgar Cayce's mystical insights since eight years old, JL delved into the intricacies of the ancient Atlantean conflict, where ideologies clashed between the enlightened "children of the law of One," who embodied unity and spiritual truth, and the sons of Belial, who thrived on chaos and materialism. This tumultuous battle could have (according to Cayce) not only shaped the fate of Atlantis but also served as a mirror for humanity's perpetual struggle between light and darkness. Prompting JL to embark on a journey of self-discovery and deeper understanding of universal truths that transcend time and culture. And Lirvanium is the story of a new rise for humanity after the last battle. Where human kind is supposed to win, with the precious help of the positive heir of the Atlantis.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In 2012, Tinti Dey, a manager at Design Studio Press based in Los Angeles, recognized the potential in JL's concept designs from his "TCR" book project and proposed JL to publish his illustrated nove for october 2013. However, Scott Robertson, founder of the publishing company, and world famous concept artist and designer (Minority Report, Men in Black, BMW, also publisher of artists like Daniel Simon, Neville Page or Dylan Cole), expressed skepticism about attracting investors for a project led by someone who had transitioned to concept design and 3D art only two years prior. Highlighting the challenges in convincing backers accustomed to financing seasoned designers from major film franchises like Iron Man, Lord of the rings, Tron or Captain America. Despite this, Robertson urged JL to continue refining both his design skills and the narrative of his project, emphasizing the importance of growth in his artistic journey.  JL's unsettling incident prompted a significant reassessment of his life goals, leading him to return to France after a prolonged wait of two months to finalize a deal with Design Studio Press. This experience spurred him to refine his craft and publicly showcase his work by launching a Facebook page, which remarkably garnered over 35,000 followers in just three months, establishing a substantial audience for his Dawez studio.

In 2013  JL decided to develop a spin-off concept coming from "TCR" as to create "NOISY LIGHTS", a T.V series project where music, arts and creation hold a central role, within a retro futuristic visual universe.  He met Kamil Rustam in Los Angeles, the world renowned guitar player and composer (Stevie Wonder, Jenifer Lopez, Esperanza Spalding, Peter Gabriel or Snoop Dogg) and music film composer (The bone collector, Blood Diamond, Taxi) of whom JL was a big fan since he has begun music. Kamil immediately  loved JL's designs, music demos or conceptual vision and accepted to join the project. Together they worked on the production of tree songs from the soundtrack. Kamil helped JL to create an amazing band.  They recorded in studio with some of the "A list" Los Angeles musicians, singers and writers like Amy Keys (Toto, Phil Collins, Dave Stewart, Herbie Hancock), Mabvuto Carpenter (Chaka Kan, Toto, Snoop Dogg), Ludovic Louis (Lenny Kravitz, Demi Lovato, Chris Brown, The Voice USA) or musicians (Gorden Campbell, Jj Robert Smith, Ric' Key Pageot, Mike Eyia, Garett Smith) having worked with such artists like Stevie Wonder, Mary J Blige, Prince, Earth Wind and Fire, Madona, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera or Beyonce etc...    They recorded at the mythic Bell Sound Studio in L.A but also for the vocals, at David Paich's private studio in Calabasas (Toto, Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones, David Foster) and Kamil personal studio (West Hollywood).
