Agnès Bihl (born April 30, 1974 in Neuilly-sur-Seine ) is a French singer .

Career

Born into a family of intellectuals, with a great-grandfather who founded the French weekly L'Illustration and a grandmother who was a painter, Bihl was interested in all art forms as a child, including writing and theater. As a student she wrote stories until one of her friends, an accordionist, triggered her calling by taking her to Allain Leprest's Cabaret Libertaire Parisien.

Inspired by Jacques Brel , Georges Brassens , Renaud Séchan and Anne Sylvestre , Agnès Bihl appreciates the lyrics of the French song. She sings reality from the perspective of her world and combines poetry, comedy and activism. She describes herself on her website as a "female Renaud". As a feminist, she is vitriolic of pro-life protesters, criticizes people she calls "sluts," and brings up some tough issues like rape.

She made her debut in Limonaire in 1998, then in small rooms, accompanied by four musicians (piano, drums, bass, cello), where she was discovered. Then Anne Sylvestre, Allain Leprest, Dikès and Thomas Fersen invited them to present their shows. Her debut album La Terre est blonde was released in November 2001.

Her second album, Merci Maman Merci Papa , was released on August 25, 2005, and her third, Demandez le program , on November 9, 2007.

At the invitation of Charles Aznavour , she accompanied him on his tour between October and December 2007.

In 2009 she met Dorothée Daniel, pianist and composer, and Didier Grebot, producer / director, with whom she recorded her fourth album Rêve Général (e) between June and September 2009 . The album was released on February 1, 2010.
