Constance Amiot



Born in (on?) the Ivory Coast, raised in Cameroon, Constance Amiot's musical upbringing took place in Maryland, USA. There she started playing piano at the age of 6, and guitar when she was 16. In Washington DC she attended open-mic shows, and made an album, Whisperwood. Now, on the verge of the big 3-0, she's signed to one of France's interesting record labels, Tôt ou Tard. Home of, among others, Jeanne Cherhal, Bastian Lallemant and Thomas Fersen. The freshly released Fairytale is an album containing French and English songs (Décrocher la lune is mix of both languages), most of them written by Constance. Three lyrics were written by Jerome Attal (among them Le Souffle d'un Matin). Constance is a fan of Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell and Tracy Chapman. She has a cool, understated voice that can be very sexy too. When she sings in French, that is.
