Constance Amiot

Constance Amiot is a French singer songwriter who was born in Ivory Coast and grew up in the Washington DC area before relocating to Paris. After producing a first album "Whisperwood" in 2005, she signs a deal with the label "Tot ou Tard" and records her second album in New York "Fairytale" with a first rate cast of musicians: Jeff Pevar, Sean Pelton and Francois Moutin. The release of this album in 2007 puts Constance in the line of the new folk singers emerging from France. If this album goes by the name Fairytale, it refers to the point of views she takes in her songs, bringing enchantment and magic to the real world, using dreams as a trademark "I would like to borrow the footsteps of a dreamer" she writes in her song Rendez-vous de novembre. Diluting utopia to reality, once you add poetry and music to it. In the year of 2009, after performing on many stages and touring throughout Europe, she publishes a children's audio book "A la bonne étoile" (Actes Sud/Tôt ou tard). Her musical journey continues in 2011 as she releases her third album "Once Twice" a complete cover of Da Silva's record "La tendresse des fous", a major figure of the French music scene. "Being a songwriter myself, it was very interesting for me to work on this project. I've always enjoyed using languages like I would use instruments, mixing both French and English in my songs. The landscape, the mood, the texture of the album already existed, I felt I was both songwriter and "songpainter", as if I was adding new colors and shades to a painting that was already there. Once Twice". In 2012, she records and produces an EP of five songs "Blue Green Tomorrows". A beautiful record led by acoustic guitars, blending a deep soft voice and tender lyrics, with an underlying subtle emotion leading you on a journey witch transcends borders and languages. Everything about Constance rimes with fluidity, her flowing melodies (Blue Green Tomorrows), the way she bounces from English to French (Manhattan), her ability to immerge herself inside a soulful country ballad (Resonance). An EP faithful to who she is: with her guitar and her dreams there's no doubt she has a song for you... EP "Blue Green Tomorrows", available since november 2012. Read more on Last.fm.
