Manuel Gaulhiac commence le piano à l’âge de 7 ans, et la musique devient très tôt une passion qui l'oriente vers différents projets artistiques. Après un DEM de piano, il poursuit ses études musicales à l'école Cortot. Outre la musique, la littérature représente pour Manuel un terrain privilégié d'exploration de l'âme humaine. Une autre de ses passions est la Russie, qui l'a toujours attiré par sa culture et son caractère. Il s’est mis à l'étude de la langue et essaye désormais de passer le plus de temps dans ce fabuleux pays. Polytechnicien, Manuel pratique aussi les mathématiques.
