MADMOIZEL est une compositrice et performeuse française mélangeant les machines au lyrisme -“machine-vocalist”.
Pianiste de formation, elle commence à jouer dès l’âge de six ans. Elle découvre 1 an plus tard “Pierre et le Loup” de Prokovief (par Gérard Philippe), les compositeurs russes d’avant-garde, David Bowie, Nina Hagen, le cinéma muet et Rudolf Noureev.
Du punk au queer, de l’expressionisme au dandy-synth, du néo-classique au machine-vocalist, les influences de MADMOIZEL sont multiples.
Connue pour ses lives puissants et captivants, l’artiste utilise ses machines et synthétiseur tel un chef d’orchestre dirige ses musiciens. Sa voix lyrique et syncopée théâtralise son électronique et transforme le live en un dancefloor new-wave.
Ainsi, depuis 2013, elle parcourt la scène européenne underground, ainsi que celle de la mode et de l’art contemporain.
Première partie d’Anne Clark, Kas Product, Cocorosie, C.A.R., Chicks on Speed, Camilla Sparksss, Peine Perdue, elle sera aussi invitée par ORLAN, le FRAC Lorraine, l’Institut Goethe (Cluj), la chorégraphe Chantal Yzermans-Radical Low company et le M HKA (Anvers).
Choisi pour les défilés de Sonia Rykiel et Emmannuel Ungaro (2016) et diffusée par Andrew Wheatherall (2017), sa musique reste à la fois inclassifiable et reconnaissable.
MADMOIZEL crée son propre univers musical.

“MADMOIZEL opens the doors of her underground, disturbing theatre, in its icy lightning which nevertheless attracts us in an irresistible way. The main actress uses every piece as an act from the play. To serve the story, she brilliantly handles the synthetic tools so much so that she humanizes her electronics which are nevertheless very frontal and very clear-cut”.

” Uma pose de guerreira em atitude confrontacional para espalhar uma mensagem de amor sem género, transversal, ora freak e hedonista, ora imaculado e assexuado. MADMOIZEL incendiou a plateia, que encheu o Beat Club, do início ao fim da sua performance, assinando o epílogo em festa da primeira (e fantástica!) edição do festival MONITOR! ”
