French pianist Sofiane Pamart is redefining what it means to be a classical music star with his modern interpretation of piano music – becoming one the genre’s most-streamed artists in the process. Blowing away people’s perception that classical music is stuffy and elitist, he continues to tear up the rulebook with the release of his new single ‘ASIA’ taken from the upcoming album LETTER, due out February 11 on Play It Again Sam.
His music is intense and cinematographic, finding the balance between technical skills and raw emotions – connecting classical music to a new generation and sweeping away the elitist barriers in the process. The beautifully delicate new single ‘ASIA’ unveils the creative process behind the album which was written and recorded across six countries in Asia. The Guillaume Héritier directed video was shot throughout Sofiane’s extensive trip across the diverse landscapes of South Korea, Japan, Thailand, Singapore, Taiwan, and Vietnam. In the video we see Sofiane immersed in the architectural and cultural richness of a whole continent – seamlessly blending traditional with modern.
Heralded as the “New Face of Luxury” by the Paris Salon du Luxe, Sofiane is recognised for his style, combining the elegance of high-end fashion with his own interpretation of street style. Working regularly with prestigious maisons and brands such as Maison Cartier, C. Bechstein, Moncler, Chivas, Etudes Studio, Lacoste, Kappa, Ubisoft, Fila Europe, Polaroid and more, Pamart is a unique artist – a haute couture pianist with an appetite for street style and hip-hop.
Sofiane spent 16 years honing his craft while studying at the Conservatoire National de Lille where he graduated with a gold medal. Choosing to forge his own path – and get away from the route traditionally taken by classical artists – he has become French rap’s pianist of choice, collaborating with artists such as Maes, SCH, Vald, Koba LaD and many more. Along the way he has performed at some of the world’s most iconic locations, from becoming the first artist to perform a full show under the Northern Lights in Lapland to performing at the Louvre and at the Czech Royal Family’s castle in Prague.
2022 looks set to continue the stratospheric rise for this immensely talented artist.
