Etkilendikleri
A dungeon, a nest of phoenix feathers, a dragon, broken hearts, hairy nightmares, flowers sinking in the rain, falling leaves, hunting bears, bushes and old trees, feet in the mud, fairies & butterflies, black cities, sunny days, cold seas and white walks
After a few years as the lead singer of the French band "Cellar Door" based in
Lyon, Drou began her own project after relocating to Paris in 2006.
Her electro-guitar and do-it-yourself approach to songwriting was soon complemented by Candice (aka The Candy Kid) with the addition of drums, a glimpse of trumpet and a flurry of delicate sounds.
Together Drou and the Candy Kid have been writing sensitive songs gently echoing the artists they've been long and dear fans of: Ane Brun, PJ Harvey, Portishead's Beth Gibbons and Raymond Queneau among others.
At the end of 2008, Drou and the Candy Kid's first collection of songs entitled "A Dungeon, A Dragon" was released. This first EP stands as a playground for creatures and figures, tambourine and chimes, softness and darkness.
