Pascal Danaë is a singer songwriter and guitar player from Guadeloupe (West indies). Throughout his career Pascal played with artists such as Gilberto Gil, Peter Gabriel, Youssou’n’Dour, Neneh Cherry or more recently Ayo.

Pascal also co-wrote songs with artists such as Richard Bona ('Eyala'), Just Jinger ('Care about him') or Souad Massi ('Tell me Why'* and 'Kilyoum', songs that are part of album ‘Mesk elil’, 2006 Winner of the Best World Music album at the BBC Awards as well at the French Victoires de la Musique. *'Tell me Why' is song in duet with Souad).

In 1997 Pascal leaves Paris to go to England - Country ever source of his inspiration with The Beatles, The Police, Radiohead etc. - and settles down in London for several years. During this time he keeps sharpening both his afro-rock guitar style and his talent for songwriting.

His first Album 'London > Paris' was released in October 2007. 'London > Paris' mainly compiles English songs that Pascal wrote when he lived in London.

Back in Paris, Pascal was soon joined by Jack Guy (INXS), Australian producer he had met in London. Jack motivated him to record the "London songs". Within a week the job was done in Pascal's basement. Close friends and very talented musicians later joined the team to create this very intimate and genuine sound: Laurent Vernerey on acoustic and electric bass. Samy Bishai on electric and acoustic violin, Frederic Gaillardet on Accordeon and Piano, Kutch on bass, and Salha Khaili on drums.

Pascal is currently working on his second album. The sound will be closer to his roots and to the contagious energy he developed in front of thousands on stage! The rough new tracks* available on this page will give you a flavour.

(*Pascal plays everything on all these rough tracks).
