ELISE ALLASIA

With her warm voice and resolutely modern universe, Élise Allasia embodies the new French soul/RnB scene. Based in Paris, this young artist draws a clear line between groove heritage and contemporary aesthetics in her compositions and covers, exploring with intensity the textures of RnB, the sensuality of soul and the syncopated rhythms of contemporary groove. Yebba, Erykah Badu, Robert Glasper, Jill Scott... Her influences speak for themselves: artists who blur the lines between raw emotion, chiselled harmonies and thumping rhythms. Élise draws on this heritage to deliver original compositions and rearranged covers, supported by a band of accomplices: Nathan Mollet on piano, Pierrick Cazals on drums and Nankouma Lesage on bass. Having already played at La Note Bleue (Monaco), Le Shapko, La Boule Noire and Le Son de la Terre, she continues to carve out her own path with exacting standards and spontaneity. With performances in such renowned venues as La Note Bleue (Monaco), Le Shapko (Nice), La Boule Noire and Le Son de la Terre (Paris), Élise is both solid on stage and bold in her artistic direction.

Since 2012, Baiser Salé has been opening its doors to up-and-coming young talent! The aim? To give them a creative laboratory, a framework in which to develop their repertoire, hone their stage presence and experiment freely, testing out new compositions and offering an intimate set. It's a promising niche where creativity and excitement know no bounds.
