Biographie fonchild, french musician based in Cergy, France. Concerts alone or accompanied :
1 to 10 musicians, 0 to 3 technicians.
Without capital letters, fonchild seems to want to blend in…
First listening live… We hear pop, with a few simple chords, on an acoustic guitar, without embellishment.
Let’s listen more… A few plucked notes, open chords all over the neck, rhythm, subtle colors, a warm voice, sometimes projected by rather detailed texts. This is another thing…
For fans of Damien Rice, Ben Harper, John Butler Trio, or even Neil Young, fonchild sounds americanophile sweet-acid folk with luminous pop, sometimes melancholy, happily mixing with shades of blues, gospel, soul, funk, reggae, rock…
Mixed songs served by a tall man with a contagious laugh, on universal subjects, often slices of life, brought to you by texts that are sometimes funny and touching, sometimes thought-provoking, and revealing a universe that is ours, made of emotional nourishment, of links to nature, of life…
fonchild is basically an artist from Cergy, a funny creature from the end of the 70s who started alone. He has been tinkering on his guitar since he was a teenager and is one of those sensitive people who find a vital balance by composing and sharing his music and his texts with others, by confronting them…
He occasionally surrounded himself with musicians he met randomly during his migrations and gave a few rare concerts.
Today, depending on the scenes, fonchild plays alone, or in a band joined by professionals, in order to continue the concerts to share this musical project full of life. Editer
