Bio
///////// PRESS QUOTES ON BABILONIA ///////// 'The top of Le Championnat' Metro /// ‘Readymade FC meld knowing Anglo-Saxon pop with Gallic chanson swish, adding a soupçon of electronica here, a guest vocalist there, to make music that laughs in the face of genre pigeonholing’ ****Mojo /// 'From its Midnight Cowboy harmonicas to the Jon Brion-esque sound design, it's like the soundtrack to an imagined film', Clash /// 'If you like your pleasures subtle but utterly plentiful, this is for you', 7/10, NME /// 'Gorgeous, tricky pop', Harpers & Queen /// 'Out of step with our time.

A rich, multi-layered confection of playful electronic textures, shimmering baroque pop arrangements and memorable guest vocals from the likes of David Sylvian, Yael Naïm. // He scored Hedi Slimane’s fashion shows for Dior Homme twice in a row. Coca Cola Light, Sky TV or Channel 4 have chosen his musics as soundtracks too. The hip-hop producer RJD2 (Def Jux) sampled his music. David Sylvian, Underworld, Carl Craig and Royksöpp asked him for opening concerts. // He has remixed Ennio Morricone, Chet Baker, Serge Gainsbourg, David Sylvian, Henri Salvador... ///////// DISCOGRAPHY ///////// 'Babilonia' CD & LPX2 [the first album on Peacefrog] (2005 Bleepmachine/Peacefrog) /// 'The Only One (feat.
