Jekyll Wood

Under the name Jekyll Wood, the French singer-songwriter develops a brand of pop infused with soul, folk and rock influences, centered on guitar, voice and a strong sense of rhythm. Originally conceived as a solo venture, Jekyll Wood crafts songs with clear structures, where sung melodic lines, backing vocals and instrumental motifs answer one another in a format close to a one-man band. On stage, Jekyll Wood favors a highly constructed approach to live performance, layering sound to produce a dense result from a reduced stage setup while keeping the songwriting accessible. The recordings extend this work on the contrast between pop energy and more intimate textures, with particular attention to vocal dynamics. Over the years the musician has become part of the French indie pop landscape, alternating tours, residencies and studio work, and occasionally collaborating with other contemporary artists. Jekyll Wood’s continuous presence on social networks and digital platforms accompanies this live activity and maintains a direct connection with an audience attached to this hybrid approach between songwriting and performance.
