BIO :
Mathilde Renault is a young pianist, singer and composer. She was born in
Malmedy in 1986, both her parents are musicians. Her main passion has
always been composition and creation; as a kid she played music, painted
and photographed. But she only really began to study the piano at
the age of 16 even if she already played and composed before. She began to
sing with bulgarian singers and then went away of that kind of
singing to create her own style. She always did free improvisation, every time
she met a new musician on her way, and she's still doing it ..
The Band Overoceans was born from the meeting between Mathilde and
American violonist Caroline Shaw (classical). Now added to the duo
are percussionist Stephan Pougin and bass player Arne Van Dongen. In june
2006 Overoceans recorded Mathilde's compositions and the album ALIANA
LUDA is OUT NOW on the Label Carbon 7. She studied piano with Nathalie
Loriers, Pierre Thomas and is currently studying with Diederick Wissels. She
Studied singing with Radka Ivanova,Maria Pia De Vito, ... And did
masterclasses with Dave Liebman, Roberto Cippelli, Maria Pia De Vito, Mario
Laginha, ...
Zanga is her new band with Janos Bruneel on Double Bass and
Stein Cools on drums. Then, she has a duo with the swedish saxophonist
Jonas Knutsson and they're going to record a new album on label Igloo,
