Chevalrex

Rémy Poncet, also known as Chevalrex, is a French musician and visual artist born 1982 in Valence (FR).

He is the author of four albums since 2013, Catapulte, Futurisme, Anti slogan and Providence, each of which received a very good critical reception (Les Inrocks, Telerama, France Inter) at their releases.

His music is often considered as a link between French film music composers (François de Roubaix, Georges Delerue), the singers of the Lithium label he listened to as a teenager and contemporary pop figures (Jonathan Richman, Andy Kaufman, Boris Vian). Multi-instrumentalist, he is part of this new generation of French musicians who are reappropriating the codes of French song.

He started music at the age of 14 by recording his first songs in his room. Very quickly, this practice is associated with the creation of images to carry out the covers of the cassettes and CD which it records. After 4 years at the Ecole Supérieure d'Art de Grenoble in the early 2000s, the image becomes his job and he becomes an active force from 2009 of the collective Brest Brest Brest (Arnaud Jarsaillon, Rémy Poncet, Loris Pernoux). He collaborates from 2014 exclusively with labels / record companies to realize album covers and posters. He has notably made designs for Bertrand Belin, François de Roubaix, Arno, H-Burns, Eloïse Decazes & Eric Chenaux, Forever Pavot... He also creates the covers for the artists of Objet Disque, the label he founded in 2014.
