James Baker + Blanche Esther

James Baker

At 24, James Baker is carving out a unique path in the new French music scene. Hailing from the Parisian suburbs, this self-taught artist blends indie pop, alternative rock, electro, and rap. Singer-songwriter, performer, and producer, he shapes every corner of his universe, fueled by a highly visual imagination.

More than just simple tracks, his songs tell stories, influenced by his love of cinema. His upcoming project, Romy Rose, is inspired by the film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. This conceptual double EP, with melancholic pop and electro accents, draws on influences like Djo, Fontaines D.C., Daft Punk, and The Strokes. In it, he explores memory, the desire for erasure, and emotional resilience.

With raw sensitivity, James Baker questions denial, love, and identity. Each track acts as a troubled and sincere scene, true to an artistic vision that prefers truth over comfort.

Blanche Esther

Blanche Esther was not supposed to write her own songs. Yet that is exactly what she did. Having studied at the École Normale de Music de Paris and the Philharmonie choir, she was destined for a career as an opera singer before finding in writing and composition a space that truly belongs to her.

What she has been writing since is what she goes through: the path to oneself, without detours. Her universe lies somewhere between electro, pop, and lyrical. A voice of her generation, carrying her doubts and her prides. Having opened for COLT and P.R2B, she confirms on stage what the music heralded, a presence that leaves no one indifferent. Her debut EP Pur.e released in 2026 plunges us into the most intimate, and that is where things begin.
