Jean-François Coen

Jean-François Coen is a Musicien French, born in 1959 with Oran. He is at the same time type-setter, interprets, producer of his discs, and author of the majority of the titles.

Arrived at Paris in 1965, it studies the traditional Guitare there with Ramon de Herrera with the municipal academy. In 1978, it joined as a bass player the group Modern Guy , which records in 1979 an album produced by John Cale before separating in 1981.

From 1982 to 1990, Jean-François Coen remains in margin of the industry of the disc, if it is not an appearance as a bass player on the first albums of Juliette and Independent the and of Mirwais .

Its first album solo (without title) leaves in 1993 at Columbia (Sony Music). One finds there in particular the title " The Tower De Pise" , whose clip is signed Michel Gondry and whose choruses are interpreted by the singer Robert. Its second album, heading “Lives the Love”, appears under the label Naïve Records in 2004.

Anecdotes

Its song the Tower of Pisa is inspired by the song the Tower of London which he itself had written in 1988 for the album Félin for the other of the Luna Parker.

Its first album was victim of a misdialling on behalf of its recording company, involving a fast exhaustion in the vats a few weeks only after its exit. Time to realize of this error was fatal with the success of this album. It is for that one can observe a code bar on its second album in remembering this error.
