Laurent Gueirard trained in drums with Jean Claude Paolini at the Henri Tomasi music conservatory in Bastia and learned cello with Paul Antoine de Rocca Serra, classical percussion and jazz piano with Jean Michel Giannelli.
This need for openness to various instrumental forms led him to Paris where he studied at the Nadia and Lili Boulanger conservatory in the jazz class led by Nicolas Folmer and Pierre Bertrand.
At the same time, he trained in the piano at the Bill Evans Piano Academy directed by Bernard Maury and took part in workshops with New York saxophonist Steve Coleman, guitarist Marc Ducret, and Brazilian rhythmicist Lucas Ciavatta.
In 1998, he founded his first group, the jazz trio John Mac Dume with which he still travels the Corsican roads today.
In 2006, he joined the Inama jazz sextet led by saxophonists Fabien Debellefontaine and Julien Soro with whom he released his first album "La Boite Noire" and won the SACEM prize at the jazz festival in Saint Germain des Prés.

In 2016, he composed his first work of electronic music, the music of Papillon, a choreography for 5 dancers on the theme of dreams.
In 2020, he returned to Corsica, his native region and immediately plunged into the bath of island musical production, strong in his multidisciplinarity. He joined, as a drummer, the Jakez Orkeztra and his show Cosmolitude 2021 as well as the show Tra Me è Te by Marylène and ghjuvan francescu Giamarchi, and the electro post punk group Berthe as a bass player.
