Jean-Paul released in 2022 his third solo album, entirely devoted to Rachmaninoff, for Evidence Classics (« A New Masterstroke » - Le Figaro). In 2019, the release of his Chopin album had been enthusiastically welcomed by the international press (« A Highly Accomplished Chopinist » - BBC Music Magazine). 
 In February 2020 he was awarded the Thierry Scherz Prize at the Sommets Musicaux de Gstaad, which offered him the opportunity to record a CD with the Bern Symphony Orchestra for Claves Records, including Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 and Arno Babadjanian's Heroic Ballad (released in March 2022). 
 Jean-Paul has been nominated at the Vicoires de la musique classique 2021, in the « Revelation Soloist » category. 
In May 2022, Jean-Paul performed as a soloist at the Philharmonie de Paris, accompanied by the Orchestre National d'Ile-de-France. During the 2022/2023 season, Jean-Paul will make his debuts with the Nürnberger Symphoniker, the Orchestre National Avignon-Provence, the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France and the Orchestre Colonne. 
Jean-Paul is the winner of Bremen European Competition 2014 and has been a laureate at many other competitions. 
Classica Magazine has ranked Jean-Paul among the 10 most promising young pianists of his generation.
