BIOGRAPHY
> EMANE (France)
After studying at the Conservatoire, Emane moved to Rennes in 2002 to study musicology and a course in social careers. Her father is a singer of Gwoka, the traditional song of Guadeloupe, and she has a passion for soul, gospel, hip-hop, Michael Jackson and Beyoncé. After various musical experiences as a backing and lead singer in different music groups, she took the path of a solo career with a self-titled debut EP in 2017, with an electro gospel universe and new soul, hip-hop and funk influences. She released her debut album four years later, Like a woman, with ten RnB-oriented tracks in English. The lyrics explore the status of women, humanity, sharing, generosity… The album was helped by the Rennes-based Horizon scheme, an artistic spotlight led by Antipode and Jardin Moderne, in partnership with 4Bis and Canal B radio. She played at Transat en ville, Quartiers d’été, the fête de la musique, 1988 Live Club, Champs libres… Her new album, the EP On my way, was released in March 2024.
