Roman Madrolle was born in France on 16 April 1980. He released his debut album in 2009. Any Place But Home[1][2][3] mirrors Roman’s life experiences: his family and early age expatriation are strong influences in his work.
[edit] Career
In 2005, he joined the One Voice project, a charity compilation album for the reconstruction of Hurricane Katrina-devastated schools. His song, The Pain Within her Heart obtained critical acclaim. The song will later be reused on his debut album.
The production of Any Place but Home and the music video for The House of the Rising Sun is completed before the turn of 2007.
The album release was supported by live shows in several landmark venues in Brussels: Centre for Fine Arts, Brussels (BOZAR), Orangerie of the Botanique, Ancienne Belgique alongside notable shows in support of Arno Hintjens, Johnny Winter,[4][5][6] Jacques Stotzem[7] and Bjorn Berge.[8]
2009 marked Roman’s entry on the Belgian media scene. Several radio stations began giving frequent airplay to singles RIDER and GOOD MUSIC. A number of media features will follow in France and Belgium.
- RTBF invites him to guest on several shows (Classic 21,[9][10] La Première, La Deux,[11] VivaCite, Arte)
- RTL (France and Belgium) invites him to the Nocturnes hosted by Georges Lang (RTL),[12] All Access (Bel RTL), Demandez le Programme (Bel RTL), Sampler (PlugTV)…
- In France, his live television debut at Nagui’s landmark music show, Taratata in May 2009 will be a frank success[13]
- Followed by Classic 21’s 5th birthday at the Halles de Schaarbeek
- Bel RTL's "Rallye Télévie"
