‘French charm, soulful pop chanteuse‘
PERFORMANCE REEL
Hailing from Île de Ré, an island off the west coast of France, singing-pianist Violette moved to NYC in 2009 after studying at Berklee College of Music in Boston.
The French native quickly embraced the NYC hustle, releasing six albums as an indie singer-songwriter while leading her Band and global Talent agency, La Vie En Rose, providing entertainment for 150+ events yearly.
As a performer, she has graced stages all round the world from NYC (Highline Ballroom, BB Kings, Rockwood Music Hall, City Winery) to Paris, Tokyo, Montreal, and more.
Her album "Falling Strong" produced by Brian Bacchus (Gregory Porter, Abbey Lincoln) and featuring Louis Cato (bandleader of the Late Show Band) showcases the artist’s eclectic range of musical influences from pop to rock and R&B. During the pandemic, her song "Christmas Harmony" co-written with her husband, American film director Bradley Hasse, featured by Playmobil, racked up millions of views on YouTube.
A happy mom of 3, Violette is currently working on an all-French album. The first single & music video Aujourd'hui, promises a sophisticated cocktail of varied pop/rock that celebrates both tradition and modernity.
"Violette brings together warm song of incredible complexity and life with swirling piano melodies and somewhat bluesy, pop song creations on her latest release, Falling Strong. Each song is catchy and beautifully-executed with vocals as sweet as sugar and melodies as fluid as a babbling brook. The album is so good it should be 'falling' up the charts!"
-Matthew Forss (Inside World Music)
"No last name, but a lot of heart here by singer/songstress Violette (...) She’s reminiscent of the stylists of the 70s with an upbeat and thoughtful approach to music."
- Jazz Weekly
"With pipes that could easily land her on the charts, the songstress builds breezy melodies and romantic yet playful landscapes in multiple languages with grace and beauty. This young woman has a remarkable future waiting."
