MICHAUX BIO SHORT EN



Nicolas Michaux is a singer-songwriter and music producer. Born and bred in Belgium he now divides his time between Brussels, where he’s part of the collective Capitane Records, and the Danish island of Samsø, where he resides with his family, growing vegetables and writing songs.

Michaux writes and sings both in English and French and his music stands at the crossroads of different traditions.
Still he is guided by a deeply personal and distinctive style and spirit. His recordings, homemade and lifelike, convey a certain idea of modernity : simple and organic. Michaux’s production style paints vivid sonic pictures rooted in a deep consideration of the musical instruments at hand and the textures they evoke. Like a landscape painter, his work is a meditation on the living world. His “paint” is the musical spectrum.

His sophomore album Amour Colère was released in September 2020 and was internationally acclaimed with the notable supports of BBC6music, France Inter, Radio Nova, La Blogothèque, The line of Best Fit, American Songwriter, Focus Vif, …
On October 01, Michaux will release Les Chutes, a compilation of outtakes (unreleased tracks, alternate takes, demos,…) recorded between 2017-2021.
