Sanseverino

Clown, comedian, then artist, Stéphane Sanseverino came to song late in life. Born in Paris on October 9, 1961, the Italian-born singer-songwriter, guitarist and singer Stéphane Sanseverino has won public acclaim for his style, which blends chanson and gypsy jazz with a touch of humor. After a spell with Les Voleurs de Poules, the songwriter, guitarist and singer went solo in 1999, and enjoyed success with his debut album Le Tango des Gens, released two years later. In 2003, he received the Victoire de la Musique award for "Revelation of the Year", and went on to expand his musical palette with Exactement (2004) in big band, the soundtrack to the film U (2007), Les Faux Talbins (2009) and the country exercise on the album Honky Tonk (2013). A seasoned guitarist with a jovial way with words, Sanseverino pays tribute to the chanson heritage in Le Petit Bal Perdu (2014) and, the following year, adapts Henri Charrière's novel Papillon into music. After his musical participation in the opera Qui de l'homme ou de la femme a le plus de plaisir (2017), he signed the blues album Montreuil-Memphis and embarked on the Beber Project, a tribute to François Béranger, the first volume of which will be released in 2019. Tangomotan (2019), Les Deux Doigts Dans la Prise (2021) and C'Était Mieux Maintenant (2024), the title track of which is performed with Vaudou Game, are just some of the heterogeneous productions.
