Singer, Poet, Hip Hoper but also performer, SPLEEN, orginally from Paris, France is offering a very attractive mixture where Africa, soul music, movies, vocal beatboxing, gospel, poesie and hip hop works out together to produce a vocal funk, a contemporary loving blues.
He was 22 Years old and wrote 22 Tracks for his first album, singing in both French and english languages. That boy is coming out as a French Poet influenced by Afro American roots.
Whenever you would ask him who are his idols, he would dearly say James Brown, John Cassavettes, Fela Kuti or Cyrano de Bergerac.
SPLEEN is also the foundator of "the Black and White Skins" collective, an music and art International association where young artists from the new American soul and folk scene as Devendra Banhart, Antony & the Johnsons and Cocorosie with whom SPLEEN himself plays officialy on stage in Sister Cassidy band.
