With his eternally mischievous appearance and angel hair, his friends have christened him Little Prince. But Elliot is more attracted to the mischievous adventures of Jonathan the Goeland. From an early age, Little Prince played the piano, but it was while spying on his sister's cello lessons that he fell in love with music. This was followed by 10 years at the conservatory, learning the guitar and hours of jamming in the cellar of friends, including Jacques, whom he met in a park in Strasbourg.

In his texts, Little Prince tells of the love he feels and receives from those closest to him, the happy love, the little moments of happiness that we always remember and that make us stronger. And for him, these are his best allies in getting through life gently.

Djakarta is a project created by brothers Raphaël & Tristan Stuart. Multi-instrumentalists, they compose the music and write the lyrics together. From these four-handed songs rises a hybrid and intimate pop, both acoustic and electronic.

Inspired as much by wide open spaces as by the urbanity of the city, constantly stretched between two lands (France, where they were born, and Australia, where their origins lie), the duo release Overseas, an EP published three years after their first, which explores these journeys, both terrestrial and spiritual, on which we embark thanks to this solar, melancholic and fundamentally dreamy folk pop.

In anticipation of the EP's release, Djakarta are releasing their 1st single, Any Open Door, on July 8, in which the band question the routine and melancholy of city life.

Naomi Greene is a French-American singer-songwriter who sings with an electric harp. The magic blanche that is her music, she has perfected in Los Angeles, where she has been living for several years. On the borders of indie pop and folk, her airy music combined with a bewitching tone evokes the dreamlike worlds of Kate Bush, PJ Harvey or Beth Gibbons of Portishead. Alone on stage, Naomi simultaneously explores musical territories and inner spaces, spreading her brutal melancholy through a combination of cosmopolitan music and intimate lyrics.

Thérèse, free electron and restless social crossroads, an elusive meeting of rain and shine. Musician, stylist, model and activist, she shoots towards the sky with a laser gun with multiple triggers. With the conviction that she has the right to live a thousand lives in one.

Maxye is a Parisian DJ with a unique style. She is a groovy DJ with House, Disco and World influences from Chicago, Lagos and Berlin. Her DJ sets shine with the finesse of her selection and her technique allows her to navigate with ease between styles. His universe is aimed at all those who have a curious ear and enjoy travelling in music through the ages and continents.

Born in the Paris suburbs to Algerian parents, Sarah grew up to the sound of Cheb Hasni's rai and Britney Spears' pop. Heir to Rachid Taha's "souk of cultures", she sings in Arabic and French and tints her song with the same haunting undulations as the diva Warda, "the Algerian rose".

Alexis, an accomplished multi-instrumentalist, studied baroque music at the Conservatoire before taking up gypsy guitar and then rock. Drawing on his Romanian origins, he tries to combine traditional rhythms with electronic sounds.

Mauvais Œil will release their second EP "Mektoub" on June 26th, supported by a new single of the same name just in time for summer. Sunny and uptempo, "Mektoub" (which means "destiny" in Arabic) confirms all the talent of the young duo from North Paris. Sarah and Alexis mix all their influences with audacity and modernity: Pop, French variety, Raï and RnB.

The Arts Factory Magazine - Tafmag to its friends - reveals the emerging culture of our generation. Both a cultural medium and a creative agency, Tafmag sets out to discover the new names in cool, whether in music, painting, photography or illustration.

And in music too, since Pauline & Marie regularly get behind the decks where they pour out their love for funk, disco and house.

Pépite is an adventure for two, a meeting in 2009 between Édouard and Thomas on a beach.

Their music is also a meeting, a collision between French chanson, America and Jamaica.

Thomas sings and writes, more often than not, "from imprecise memories". Édouard contributes his backing vocals, his passion for new sounds, floating colors, double-bottomed allusions and slowly premeditated flights.

Pépite's songs carry both the sublime and the lonely, bliss and weariness, wonder and torpor, as if they were all written and recorded in the exact interstice that follows - or precedes - happiness. A pop that sails somewhere between opposite states, without always explicitly revealing whether it's jubilant or consoling, or both.
