Live from song, a dream that many artists wish to realize. The young singer-songwriter Allan Védé, aged 28, knows very quickly that he wants to make a living from his music. It must be said that music bathed his childhood. Between Brussels, Paris and the south of France (his grandmother is from Abjat-sur-Bandiat in the Dordogne), he likes to sing to pass the time. He remembers his mother’s synth and the day he took his father’s guitar in his hands: “A true love story began with this instrument”.
– Lionel Bechardergue
While he could have embarked on a sports career, it is towards the song that he launches. He feeds, dreams and immerses himself in his very own universe that he likes to make us hear today by immersing himself in English pop-folk influences from the Beatles to Ed Sheeran but also French song. Since childhood, Allan Vede is a big fan of Francis Cabrel and after having taken his first steps as an amateur and anonymous singer in the streets of Brussels where he grew up, Allan Védé tries his luck by sending a demo to the Baboo label, managed in part by Aurélie Cabrel, daughter by Francis Cabrel. The alchemy operates. In Astaffort, Allan Védé enters the studio to record his first EP in 2020, which quickly finds its audience.
These songs like “Golden Rays” the fate of anonymity literally with a text centered on the happiness of a woman who blossoms in complete freedom, “true to myself” Where “We dance in the dark” are also melancholy ballads that speak of the questions we suffer from and the doubts we have about existence.
Allan Védé’s songs talk about humanity, but also about nature, the world around us and the important stages of our lives. The singer reminds us that it is important to live fully and enjoy the present moment.
And it is this shade between musical modernity and homage to French song that you will discover by listening to this ambitious 1st album “Humanoïde” which will be released on October 21, 2022.
