ARTISTS

Colours in the Street (Solo)

The 4 piece band who usually delivers a powerful pop, cut out for big stages will be represented by Alex Colours presenting a live piano version of songs from Colours in the Street.

The French singer, musician and producer has a remarkable stage experience in France and internationally. With his band, he has performed nearly 200 concerts on many prestigious stages including l’Olympia in Paris and major festivals in France and worldwide (China, South Korea, Argentina, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, Poland…).

Alex is also a true songwriter and topliner. He develops a complete repertoire, unstoppable melodies and neat productions with pop, rock and electro sounds. He creates and produces many songs and musical works for himself but also other artists around the globe, and participates in many collaborations.

Cécile Lacharme

French cellist, Cécile Lacharme, has spent her life traveling and playing cello, whilst developing her cultural interests.

Classically trained, she explores music styles that are rarely played with the cello (improvisation, rock, indie-folk, ambient music). Thanks to her musical sensitivity and her creativity, she has been involved in multiple artistic collaborations in France (Merryn Jeann, Coline Rio) and overseas (the contemporary dance troupe New Cambodian Artists in Cambodia, a Cuban duo with Eddy Fleitas Del Sol in Singapore, jazz music in Hong Kong).

In 2020 she launched her own solo cello project, consisting of an electric cello, a loop station and effect pedals. Influenced by Philipp Glass and Max Richter, her compositions are made by repetitive phrases and shifting layers, rising up and building up large landscapes. In a beautiful simplicity, her music evokes mysterious landscapes, located somewhere between Asia and the West, between classical and modern times.

Hugo Barriol

Hugo Barriol is a French singer/songwriter who began his music career busking in Sydney, Australia. Back in Paris after a year of traveling, he won the Metro Music Awards in Paris in 2015 and recorded his debut EP in 2017, the single " On the Road - Radio Edit " hit more than 15 million streams.

In 2019 his debut album Yellow produced by Ian Grimble (who’s worked with Bear's Den, Matt Corby, Mumford & Sons, etc...) came out and Hugo played more than 40 shows/ Festivals all across Europe. In 2020, during the pandemic, Hugo released "Hey Love " Ep, recorded with Ian Grimble a month before lockdown. In 2022, Hugo came back with a new song Self-produced in his Paris apartment, "Long Way from Home", inspired by the story of his friends. In 2023, his new album Everywhere/ Anywhere is released.

« My music sounds melancholic, sometimes sad but always hopeful. I write things I don’t want to talk about. I tell stories, It can be delicate, soft, sometimes tribal, and I try to be always true in my songs. » Inspired by folk, pop, rock, and indie, my music is a mix of it all.
