Bio
Vanessa Bedoret is a London-based French violinist, vocalist and composer.
She integrates her classical background to experimental production, as a means to shape intimate and cinematic compositions.
Treating songwriting as an instinctive process, Vanessa transforms her deeply personal experiences into pure emotion.
Vanessa began her classical training at age 6 and on completion at 18 she embraced the thrill of playing guitar and bass in punk bands, and like many at the turn of adulthood, was quickly captured by the allure of the dancefloor. Her deep understanding of musical form elevates her experimentation to a truly unique sonic experience, one that never strays too far from her original love of classical music.
She joined Scenic Route, a label renowned for selecting and nourishing rising stars for the release of her debut album, Eyes, out on 8th of March 2024. Boomkat described the record as “a timeless bouquet of raptures and ballads iced with shearing strings and shatterproof electronics” whilst Fader called it “sleek, avant-garde reconstructions of club music — think Björk produced by Mica Levi”.
Previously releasing on independent labels like Laura Lies In and Archaic Vaults, her refined skill set has meant she’s been in high demand for both solo shows and collaborations. These accolades include playing violin with New York avant garde collective Standing On The Corner at The Serpentine, as well as a part of Kahil El’Zabar conducts MOKI at the ICA with Neneh Cherry, and Linder: Another Music in a Different Arcadia at the Design Museum alongside artist Linder Sterling, Naima Cherry, Maxwell Sterling, Kenichi Iwasa & Ella Frears.
In 2023 and 2024, she accompanied Astrid Sonne for her new album Great Doubt’s tour, as a string trio with Astrid and cellist Emma Barnaby.
For her solo performances, she’s performed at venues such as Cafe Oto and the ICA in London, and shared stages with Lorenzo Senni, Nourished by Time, Chanel Beads, Mark William Lewis, Voice Actor, Ekaterina Bazhenova-Yamasaki, John T. Gast and Nexcyia to name a few.
After the critical acclaim of 'Eyes' Vanessa is back in the studio working on her opus, to be released on Scenic Route.
