Singer-songwriter, pianist and president of the label Broadway Of Life, my songs have totalized hundreds of thousands of views and streams on the platforms. My first album, La Galerie Des Anonyme, is available everywhere !
Hello ! My name is Nicolas Laurent, I am a French singer-songwriter, pianist and producer, originally from the world of Musicals (Un Été 44, À Marseille Un Soir, What The Femmes).
Specialized in pop music and French variety songs, I am also able, from my experience in Musicals, to adapt to varied musical genres, in order to serve your universe. Last year, I've released my first album, La Galerie Des Anonyme, which I wrote-composed, and interpreted. The clips of the project, which are available on Youtube, have accumulated several hundred thousand views.
I can work on your musical project as a lyricist (English, French, Italian), topliner and pianist. I compose the melody at the same time as I write the lyrics, so that the words are directly carried by the music. I love telling stories full of feelings and emotions : I will make sure to shape all your ideas into a cohesive set of lyrics !
Within a two week turnaround time, I provide a piano-voice with a vocal guide that can be revised up to three times if needed. I can also refer you to different studios for a possible complete recording of the song that we will have written together, in close collaboration, in order to stay true to your vision. Finally, I have my own label, Broadway Of Life, with which I produce audiovisual content.
