BIOGRAPHY           Version Française >

 

BENEFITING FROM A VERY 'OFF BEATEN PATH' EXPERIENCE
for a French musician-
Family expatriated to the US, a childhood and adolescence marked by an exploration of the southern states,cradle of 'Afro American Music'. A few years later, Yann moves to Mississippi and here is where his true vocation is revealed, when he starts jaming with local musicians who are quick to show their enthusiasm and support.
 
A few years ago Yann released
his first album which won rave
reviews from the critics and 
enjoyed great success with
the public.
 
Today the voice and guitar
style of the young Parisian is
colored by all the different
styles of black american music
Yann mixes soul, funk, jazz, blues
& pop to write his own compositions.
His new album 'Movin'On' reveals
a very personal & original
side to his work.
