Après une enfance rhétaise et une adolescence parisienne, Violette quitte la France en 2007 pour s’immerger dans la musique afro-américaine au Berklee College of Music à Boston, puis à New York où elle vit et se produit depuis lors.
Pour son nouvel album “Falling Strong”, Violette a fait appel à deux amis de longue date: Brian Bacchus (A&R/Producteur Norah Jones, Gregory Porter…) et Louis Cato (Batteur pour Marcus Miller, John Scofield, Mariah Carey…).
La musique de Violette lui ressemble: cosmopolite, elle mêle langues, cultures et expériences de France et d’ailleurs; sensible, sa voix claire et légère sait aussi se nuancer de tons graves aux teintes blues/soul. Ses compositions reflètent fidèlement les diverses influences Jazz, Pop, Folk et Rock de la jeune chanteuse auteur-compositeur.

Born in Paris but raised in Ars-en-Re, a small village on an island off the French Atlantic Coast, and now making her home in Brooklyn, NY, singer-songwriter Violette began her musical journey at an early age, taking up the piano at five and later learning percussion while at Conservatory. Her musical endeavors were clearly colored by influences from such French luminaries as Jacques Brel and Edith Piaf but quickly found her tastes and palette ranging much farther than her home. Soon her speakers were filled with the sounds of Ella Fitzgerald, Stevie Wonder, and Michael Jackson, all artists whose sound would have a hand in the development of her sophisticated pop sound.
The artist will perform song off her latest album, 'Falling Strong'. Produced by Brian Bacchus (Norah Jones, Lizz Wright, Gregory Porter), the record showcases a collection of originals that, although rooted in jazz, reflect the young artist’s eclectic range of musical influences from pop to rock and R&B.
