Adrien Legrand

Born in Caen in 1989, Adrien Legrand waited until his 30th birthday to present his first songs under his own name. The French song scene has seen many singers brandishing their civil status in the city as well as on stage, but if for some it is obvious from the start to impose their name, for others, it takes time to adopt it. The path to self sometimes includes a few detours.

The click took place in 2017. Composer and keyboardist in the Normandy bands Gandi Lake and Veik - two bands with radically different aesthetics (the first leaning towards the glorious heritage of Anglo-Saxon pop and the second towards the German experimental music of the seventies) -, Adrien decided to open a third parallel path, his own. The friction between the idea of more intimate songs and orchestrations with a broad pop spectrum appeals to him, there is surely a territory to be discovered somewhere between Arnaud Fleurent-Didier and the Canadian group Homeshake.

No need to play loud, Adrien Legrand prefers to handle the silences to offer a place of choice to the piano, the voice and the choirs. A way to make his place very gently, expressing simple emotions, without artifice, and aiming at the heart.
