Violette

Born in Paris but raised in Île de Ré, a small island off the French Atlantic Coast, now making her home in New York,
Singer-songwriter Violette began her musical journey at an early age, taking up the piano at five and later learning percussion while at a Parisian 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.

Her album, "Falling Strong" produced by Brian Bacchus (Norah Jones, Lizz Wright, Gregory Porter), mixed by Jay Newland (Norah Jones, Sly Johnson), and mastered by Mark Wilder (Bob Dylan, Jane Monheit, Miles Davis), 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.
At once upbeat and sassy, sensual and intimate, her soulful voice immerses you in the heart of a genuine emotional experience.
