Alex Montembault

Alex Montembault blends the softness of a distinctive voice with sensitive compositions where jazz, French chanson and the influence of 1970s progressive rock intersect. Trained in jazz and nourished by hybrid aesthetics, he writes intimate, luminous songs guided by a particular attention to the right word and emotions close to the surface. Introduced to a wide audience by portraying Marie-Jeanne in Starmania, he now develops a personal repertoire in which guitar and piano accompany texts that explore identity, family and silence. A restrained yet intense songwriting, which confirms the emergence of an artist of rare sensitivity.
