Mathilde Renault is a young pianist, singer and composer.
She was born in Malmedy in 1986, both her parents are musicians.
Her main passion has always been composition and creation; as a kid she played music, painted and photographed.
But she only really began to study the piano at the age of 16 even if she already played and composed before.
She began to sing with bulgarian singers and then went away of that kind of singing to create her own style.
She always did free improvisation,every time she met a new musician on her way,and she's still doing it...
The Band Overoceans was born from the meeting between Mathilde and American violonist Caroline Shaw (classical) .
Now added to the duo are percussionist Stephan pougin and bass player Arne Van Dongen.
In june 2006 Overoceans recorded Mathilde's compositions and the album ALIANA LUDA is OUT NOW on the Label Carbon 7.
She studied piano with Nathalie Loriers,Pierre Thomas and is currently studying with Diederick Wissels.
She Studied singing with Radka Ivanova,Maria Pia De Vito,...
And did masterclasses with Dave Liebman,Roberto Cippelli,Maria Pia De Vito,Mario Laginha,...

Dear Mathilde, The timing for our hangs isn't that good, I'm afraid... I'm going to Italy with the trio for gigs in Rome and Capri and some vacation after that. Hope to see you soon, though... Will you be in Stockholm during the festival? Hugs!
Hi Mathilde :-) The "swedish folksong" is very familiar with some of our norwegian stuff. Maybe you should make an album with just scandinavian folkmusic as well..? I think it would be great -with your exciting sound! However, I wish you all good luck :-) Sorrywood
