He began his education in 1910 at the Paris Conservatoire, but it was interrupted in 1912 by his military service. From 1914 to 1918, he served as a soldier on the front lines. In 1919, he resumed his studies and made his debut in 1920 at the Opéra-Comique in Paris. Over the next thirty years, he remained a popular member of this opera house, where he also performed as a bass. He participated in several significant opera premieres, including the 1929 premiere of Le Peau de Chagrin by Charles Lavadé. From 1950 to 1951, he was a professor at the Conservatoire in Algiers, and later, he taught singing in Paris.
