My first EP, written and produced in France in 2008. Neo-soul on sampled beats, produced by the DJ duo Needle Drifterz (Lord Mac and DJ Sims). All lyrics, vocals, toplines, chorus, vocal production and arrangements by me. Released on physical copies only, never on streaming. This is where it started.
My second record, written and produced independently in France in 2013. Five original songs: Stupid, Lost, 5341, Something New, Silence. Arrangements by Silo Andrian, with Jacob Desvarieux (Kassav') on guitar. Soul and R&B, three languages. The record I never got to promote. Now I am.
One song, two worlds. Ilo Bosco, DJ, producer and one half of the French touch duo Février, built the track from scratch. I wrote the lyrics and sang them. Released in 2015, it's the pop side of me, the one that likes a dancefloor. Still one of the songs people ask me about.
Ranked #12 on the iTunes France R&B/Soul chart the week it came out. Three songs from Something New, reworked. I gave Tatoun my a cappellas and we rebuilt the music around them. Same voice, same words, a different room. SILENCE, LOST and 5.3.4.1, remixed.
Recorded live at the Urban Café in Antananarivo in 2010, released ten years later. On guitars: my brother Dadee Andrianaivoson, and Joël Rabesolo, one of Madagascar's great jazz guitarists. That stay in Madagascar is where I started writing Something New. This is what the songs sounded like before they were songs.
