Maher Beauroy was born in Martinique in 1987. He began playing the piano at the age of five and continued his study of classical music at the Academy of Music in Fort de France before being introduced to jazz and contemporary music at SERMAC, the arts school founded by Aimé Césaire. 

At the age of 19, he travels to France where he undertakes further academic study to add to his already solid musical training. 

All these places and encounters will give birth in 2012 to a début EP called Neg'Zagonal that fuses jazz and Caribbean rhythms. 

Two years later he joined the Berklee School of Music in Boston, where he studied further with contemporary jazz stars such as Joanne Brackee and Eddy Gomez. 

He released his début album WASHA! in 2019, continuing his quest to mix genres and influences. 

Maher Beauroy met the French-Algerian musician Redha Benabdallah while studying musicology in Paris. Along with Brazilian percussionist Adriano Tenorio, they created Insula in 2016, in homage to Frantz Fanon, a Martinique psychiatrist and figure of the anti-colonial struggle and anti-racism, which aims to be a bridge between Maghreb music and Caribbean jazz. 

Insula, which brings together jazz piano and oud, the lute of the Arab world, is divided between instrumental passages and spoken texts by Fanon. Fanon's best-known book, Les damnés de la terre, was published in 1961, a few days before his death, with a preface by Jean-Paul Sartre. This collaboration led them to perform in Africa, Asia and Europe. 

The year 2022 will see the release of Insula II, the second part of his work dedicated to Frantz Fanon, an anti-colonialist thinker who was involved in the resistance during the Second World War and then in the Algerian National Liberation Front during the Algerian War. 

Insula II is rich with new musical compositions integrating voices, unpublished texts and Afro-Caribbean instruments, always with a desire to mix modern and traditional writing and African and Caribbean cultures.
