Whilst studying at the French Conservatoire, unbeknownst to his professors, London based, French Artist BERNT would hammer nails into their grand pianos to create broken and orchestral R&B music and cinematic soundscapes. This early fascination with the dramatic still resonates throughout his work today. Since moving to London in 2012, his projects present his own extended-range of vocals layered over a bed of sub-heavy urban beats and incorporates home-made instruments, prepared pianos, orchestral string ensembles, baritone horns sextets, typewriter sections, washing mashing laments and other sound ambiances. His debut single is pop music at it’s finest; a song full of haunting and heartbreak, set to melodic pop riffs and a captivating chorus that will linger in your mind. However, it was a very dark beginning for BERNT. His pseudonym was born from tragedy as he desperately tried to escape his flat in Paris where his best friend took the life of his other best friend; the two of whom had been in a secret gay relationship. Dealing with the trauma and grief, he immersed himself in his music as he bought time and saved to travel to L.A. from La Rochelle. Through his music he has redefined his perspective of love, friendship and loss. BERNT has produced tracks for Tricky’s forthcoming album, recorded vocals with synthpop duo Scratch Massive and composed for the soundtrack of a Lars Von Trier feature amongst other numerous fashion and artistic events.
