Much like songbird Edith Piaf, Madeleine Peyroux spent her teenage years busking the streets of Paris. Thirty years later, Peyroux has produced nine beguiling albums and is an accomplished performer with sell-out worldwide tours under her belt. Her atmospheric version of Serge Gainsborough’s La Javanaise was used in the Oscar-winning film The Shape of Water and her accolades include the coveted BBC International Artist of the Year award. With passion and great curiosity, the unstoppable genre-defying virtuoso continues her search for the good, and examines life with the treasured William Congreve belief that music has charms to soothe the savage beast.
