Born in Athens, GA, Peyroux cites iconic Edith Piaf as an influence on her music, and recorded a rendition of the classic La Vie En Rose, soulfully capturing the tune’s romanticism and melancholy. Much like songbird Piaf, Madeleine Peyroux spent her teenage years busking the busy streets of Paris after moving there in 1987, and just like the ‘little sparrow’, befriended the city’s street musicians and made its Latin quarter her first performing stage. Thirty years after her formative busking days, Peyroux is the proud curator of nine beguiling albums and an accomplished performer with sell out worldwide tours under her belt. Her atmospheric version of Serge Gainsborough’s La Javanaise was used in the soundtrack of Oscar Winner The Shape of Water and her countless accolades include the coveted BBC International Artist of the Year honor.
