Biography
Born in Caesarea, Israel, on March 10, 1974, Keren Ann (née Zeidel) is a French author, composer, musician and singer of Israeli and Dutch descent. She lived in the Netherlands until the age of eleven, when she moved to France, where she joined the group Shelby with Benjamin Biolay. First noticed by the press with her debut album La Vie de Luka Philipsen (2000), co-written with Benjamin Biolay, Keren Ann has gradually become a major artist on the French scene. Discreet from album to album, she asserts a delicate writing style between folk and pop, singing alternately in English and French. Co-author and co-composer of Henri Salvador's Chambre Avec Vue (and its hit "Jardin d'hiver"), the Dutchwoman has also lent her talents as a songwriter and singer. Half of the duo Lady & Bird with Iceland's Bardi Johannsson (two albums in 2003 and 2009), Keren Ann composed the soundtrack for the film Thelma, Louise et Chantal, released in 2010. The following year, she turned her attention to her revolver on the album 101. The singer took time out to give birth to her daughter, symbolically named Nico, and returned in 2016 with a new album of previously unreleased songs, named You're Gonna Get Love. The following album Bleue (2019), sung entirely in French, features a duet with David Byrne ("Le Goût d'inachevé"). In 2022, Keren Ann teamed up with a classical string quartet to revisit her repertoire on the album Keren Ann & Quatuor Debussy. Three years later, she returned with Paris Amour, a mix of text-based chanson and light pop.
