Phanee de Pool wins Trophée Brassens
The singer and producer Phanee de Pool from French-speaking Switzerland has been honored with the prestigious "Trophée Brassens" in France.
The competition is organized every year on the initiative of the Club Georges Brassens with the support of the city council of Sète, the Festival Fernande and France Bleu Hérault. It offers a springboard to authors, composers and performers of French chanson who are in the tradition of Georges Brassens but are developing their own style. The jury is made up of fifteen chanson professionals and show business personalities. The final of the competition took place this year in Sète at the Conservatoire Manitas de Plata under the chairmanship of Marie Brune.
Born in Biel, Phanee de Pool now lives in La Neuveville. Her mother is a concert pianist and her father is a producer for radio and cultural events. She made a name for herself, then still a police officer with the Bern police force, in 2016 with a Audio post on mx3. She describes her style as slap - a mixture of slam and rap. On stage, she performs alone with a looper and guitar or with a chamber or symphony orchestra.
