Biography

Elliott Armen, a 23 year old author and composer, grew up between Paris and his natal land, Saint-Malo in Brittany. Since his teenage years Elliott composes music with guitar and piano, inspired by his attachment to the landscape that surrounds his family house, anchored on the border of a beautiful estuary. After high school, Elliott Armen travelled through Europe for two years. He worked from farm to farm in exchange for food and shelter, whilst his hosts brought him their knowledge drawn from their land. Elliott’s backpack consisted of musical instruments, a notebook and just enough to record some songs along his journey. Now settled in his family house, Elliott Armen is cultivating a field based on biodiversity and he is bringing life back to this old stone house which impacted his childhood. In the footsteps of Elliott Smith, Sufjan Stevens and Andy Sauf, this young Briton mixes the sounds of the guitar and the piano with his own original voice thus building an intimate wooden atmosphere which oscillates between density and lightness, always rooted between the sea and the land.
