Nirek Mokar is a 21-year-old Parisian who grew up in the 17th arrondissement. He fell in love with the Boogie Woogie piano when he had the chance to see and hear all the great Boogie-Woogie specialists play at the "Paris Boogie Speakeasy" where his father worked when he was very young.
Only 11 years old, and following the advice of his elders, he began to teach himself on the piano at the "Paris Boogie Speakeasy", as he didn't have a piano at home!
Fascinated by this music, as well as by Blues, Swing and Rock'n'roll, he devoted himself to it as soon as he could. Displaying astonishing maturity and exceptional swing, he quickly became the darling of Boogie fans all over Paris, but not only.
Nirek plays regularly with his Boogie Messengers at the famous Paris jazz club Caveau de la Huchette, and has already been invited to play at numerous festivals in France and abroad. He was lucky enough to open for the late Lucky Peterson. He plays with singer Eddie Gazel in the group "The One Eyed Cats", and occasionally collaborates with singer Emilie Hedou and the famous American saxophonist and entertainer Sax Gordon. Nirek has recently begun teaching for Master Classes and Blues Workshops. He also teaches Boogie Woogie, Blues and Rock'n'Roll piano.
