Vocalist

The Resume

    (February 7, 1992- )
    Born in Toulouse, France
    Born Jeanne Louise Galice
    Occitan worldbeat dance-pop artist
    Raised through the United Arab Emirates and the Republic of Congo
    Albums include ‘Hope’ (extended play), ‘Zanaka’ (Malagasy for a pre-adolescent kid), and ‘Souldier’
    Singles include ‘Come,’ ‘Makeba,’ ‘Alright,’ and ‘Oh Man’

Why she might be annoying:

    She considers some Michael Jackson and Otis Redding albums ‘classical.’ (Then again, compare their time to hers.)
    She claimed to have heard hardly any French-language music in her youth.
    In fact, she admitted to not feeling French in France and feeling French outside of France. (Identity crisis?)
    She identifies as ‘white-passing’ more than as white.
    Her early style wouldn’t be out of place on an Addams Family set. (Then she changed to a blue racer jumpsuit.)
    An online search for just that single name could yield some wildly different results that don’t mention her at all.

Why she might not be annoying:

    Her world travels – due mainly to her parents’ professional situations – exposed her to myriad cultures, musical styles, and instrumentations.
    When she settled in Paris at 18, she studied graphic design ‘to make covers of albums.’ And a bit more.
    Her ear-worm about a South African singer and civil rights leader caught the attention of no less than Will Smith’s son Jaden.
    Having witnessed people bringing flowers to an Orlando nightclub in the wake of a mass shooting (2016), she received the inspiration for ‘Souldier.’
    On occasion, she will perform a live show with nothing more than a DJ podium (which the jumpsuit helps with).
