Vincent Delerm is a Auteur-compositeur-interprète, musical Arrangeur and Dramatic author French. He was born the August 31st 1976 with Évreux.

He is the son of the writer Philippe Delerm and Martine Delerm, illustrator of novels for youth.

Beginnings

He puts himself at the Piano influenced by William Sheller, Barbara and Michel Berger. In addition it affectionate particularly melancholy in love with Alain Souchon, texts of the English songs of the groups The Smiths and Pulp as well as the Baroque music of Angelo Branduardi.

During is its academic works in modern letters with Rouen, it devoted its control to “François Truffaut, scenario writer writer” on the topic “in what the cinema of Truffaut arts person? ”. He also launches out in the theater, takes an active part in a troop and is caught passion for the cinéma.
Il gives his first concerts to Rouen in February 1998, in particular Salle Ronsart, a tiny room in the middle of an university residence. The spectacle is called “ the Bad Company introduces Vincent ”. Then with Paris in 1999 “In Limonaire” and especially with the Theater the Unloaders where it will remain with the poster during several weeks. It sends a model of its songs to the actor François Morel who, under the charm, speaks about it around him. That enables him to take part in certain radio programs, in particular on France Inter where it becomes acquainted with Thomas Fersen thanks to which it signs in the recording company Tôt or late for enregister its first disc.

A singer of scene

Its first album éponyme leaves the April 30th 2002 and it had already acquired a good experiment in the public concerts. It passes in first part of some singers like Julien Clerc and leaves then through France for a long round of which it is the high-speed motorboat.

Its second album, Kensington Public garden , leaves in 2004 and its third, the Punctures of spider , in 2006.

Its songs describe scenes of the daily life in general. Besides it quotes frequently marks or proper names, in order to better anchor its songs in the reality of each one while referring to the collective memory. Its repertory is often humorous but takes sometimes a more serious tone. Its texts evoke the love, the family or friendly relations.

The influence of the cinema is also felt since he does not hesitate to refer to actors like Fanny Ardant, Jean-Louis Trintignant, to sing in duet with Irene Jacob or to require of Mathieu Amalric to recite the credits of end of its album Kensington “as in film” (one thinks in particular of the credits spoken at the beginning about the Mépris about Godard on a resembling music strong).

Until 2005, at the time of its rounds, it was put in scene as a character who questioned himself throughout a stream of consciousness. He did not hesitate to play of his style intello-serious-shy person tinted of humor and his complicity with the public. He had his grand piano like only partner and of the lights which clarified its concerts subtly. Since, it tried out new settings in scene. Without giving up its piano and its formula piano-voice for certain songs, it makes sure from now on collaboration of five musicians: a violonist, a violoncellist, a bass player, a beater and a trumpet player, faithful the Ibrahim Maalouf, which in particular took part in the recording of its albums Kensington Square and the Punctures of spider . Collaboration which develops in a extra-musical way since on the first album of Ibrahim Maalouf distributed by Discograph, Vincent signs all the stereotypes photographs of the booklet. In short, thus it presents its new concerts since 2006. One already knew it like an informed film enthusiast (his slopes for the cinema of Truffaut and Rohmer) and as dramatic author ( the Fact of living Bagnolet and a new part in preparation). Inventive, it now inserts in its concerts various projections (mini-film and other animations). Extremely of its last experiment of actor, it packed his scenic expression: with its innate direction of the comedy, it can outline a dance on an air of tango as it does not hesitate to be disguised, with its musicians, as a Mexican with moustache with sombrero and poncho, the time of a suitable song ( synchronized Natation ). It is given some to heart joy by interpreting some of its songs with orchestrations Big band removed ( Quatrième of cover , Fanny Ardant and me ) as it can dramatically interpret, in piano-voice, songs melancholic persons like the Kiss Modiano or Voici the city , its homage to the town of Rouen where it made its studies. Having an undeniable complicity with its public, he proposes resumptions in chorus of his great successes while resorting even to one karaoké with his way for his inénarrable tube: Your parents . With the Olympia, on May 31st, 2007, it also began again, in duet with Jean Rochefort, a song formerly popularized by Fernandel, Félicie also , entonnée by all the public.

Quotations

  • Évreux, a birthplace, a song and a town of “them” Normandy : The Norman ones like to complain about the ugliness or of the coldness of their city, it is a kind of tradition. Proust wrote on the cities which finish in “them”: Dreux, Lisieux, Évreux. It had observed that the name of the city was with him only a promise of terrible trouble. I did not live in Évreux, but I was born there, because my parents live not far. Child, I never went there, except when I had appointment in the dentist! In my memory, Évreux is a completely clinical place. I found amusing to locate a separation in love lyric at it, a sentimental drama of romantic completed. Évreux is one of my very first songs, oldest of all those which I recorded to date.
  • Concerning the name dropping :
    • The affection which one can have for a song it is something of really very intuitive. If one starts to make the account indeed number of proper names that there is in a song it is that it is not made for you and in any case I do not claim to make songs which are made to like everyone. That given very pleasure which there is people who listen to them but at the same time that as formed part of the play as there are people who do not like them too much. In my case, I do not know, one sold 400.000 albums, that done nevertheless many French who does not have the disc, therefore it is rather logical.
    • There are some who thought that I made the malignant one by spreading out my culture… But I did not want to be the intellectual antidote with Star Academy. ” “This very real style, facts, places and details, they was not useless ornaments, it was my manner of presenting the things. At the beginning, one writes as one can. Then, to be made repeat that, that one does too much of it, they is as to be made say that the same blue sports shirt is always worn. One ends up carrying it a little less. However, I do not have so much inclination to recall it to my detractors, but that rained.
  • I do not claim myself underground.
  • Without concern : My first album was sold with 400.000 specimens. It is not a conventional score for song such as I do it. Thus I do not have illusions. If my new disc does not collapse, it will be perhaps the next one or that according to. But I am not anxious. The threshold of sale reached on my preceding disc grants me the possibility of composing during ten years without having concern to make me.
  • I like the idea that a singer speaks about his life.
  • Of its songs that some qualify minimalists : I do not like that one speaks about minimalism… It is right the life which is like that and which retains elements which do not seem inevitably to be most important.
  • Of its songs which would be intended for a public of sores : When well even there would be only sores in my public and that I would not sell only one disc except Paris, I do not see where would be the problem. It is not the case, but admitting that is it, one does not go in prison for that. It is really an offense of dirty mouth.
  • I do not regard myself as a socially committed singer. I do not have a lesson to give. It is not the goal of my songs.
  • There is a very emotional trick in the song, as in the laughter. It is said that they are people that one likes who make us laugh. I believe that the song carries that too. You cannot love a singer by admiring it coldly. It is necessary that it touches us.
