Joseph D'Anvers

Biography

No, he isn’t Belgian actually, the little French lad from Nevers. He borrowed his stage name from a neighbourhood in Paris, just between Pigalle and Barbus. After first starting out in the film business (he used to be a cameraman), Joseph d’Anvers decided to follow his musical instincts.

«Les choses d’en-face» saw the light of day : a first album of elegance and character, somewhere between chanson, pop and intimate almost jazzy ambiences. Raw lyrics, rich chords, melancholic melodies and a voice that caresses the listener...and a live show that sounds like it has plenty of rock and roll tension.
