Some French journalists have called her une amante des mots,
"a lover of words". Véronique Pestel
is reputed to be one of the finest young singer-songwriters in France.
She has written all her life having “written” in her school copy even
before she could write. She has also played and sung from an early age.
Her music formula is simple: piano, voice and words.
She puts poetry to music and lets her musical skill carry her
melody from blues to samba to jazz. As a former student of philosophy,
Véronique Pestel writes strikingly
intelligent lyrics, which are reflected in a very personal writing
style.
