Born in New York, Margeaux Lampley grew up in California, raised on gospel, jazz and soul music. After receiving a law degree from Columbia University in New York, she left the US and an international career in law to live the artist’s life in Paris, studying music with an emphasis on jazz at the CIM music school and the Studio des Variétés. Very quickly, she was invited to collaborate as a singer- songwriter for various French groups including the Marathonians (“Come on girl, come on boy”, signed by Warner and used for a worldwide Peugeot publicity campaign), Marc Collin (Nouvelle Vague, Les Pétroleuses producer) and Funkaroma before forming the the group Sodex and releasing two popular club singles. Her song “Move Me”, was featured on compilations in France and throughout various parts of the world, as well as on the soundtrack of the film “De battre mon coeur s’est arrêté”. Margeaux Lampley gravitated towards Jazz naturally. With her warm, intimate style, Margeaux is a regular on the Paris jazz scene, Sunset-Sunside Jazz Club, Petit Journal Montparnasse, and European festivals such as Enghien-les-bains Jazz Festival and is making a name for herself throughout France and Europe. She is accompanied by talented musicians such as pianists Olivier Hutman and Manuel Rocheman, double bass players Blaise Chevallier and Michel Rosciglione, drummers Thierry Chauvet and Olivier Robin, saxophonist David Sauzay and guitarist Olivier Louvel. In 2008, she proposed a first jazz album Love for Sale, which revisits the great jazz standards. For her new album Rain, Margeaux delivers 9 original compositions and 3 covers, oscillating between jazz, pop, soul and latin music. Pianist Olivier Hutman takes charge of the musical direction, the arrangements and the production of the album. With this second opus, Margeaux Lampley invites us on a cultural voyage. https://musicians.allaboutjazz.com/margeauxlampley

Paris-based American jazz and gospel singer, the soulful vocalist Margeaux Lampley welcomes a challenge. Originally from Oakland, California, she has degrees from UCLA and Columbia Law School, but left Wall Street and a renowned law firm in New York and Paris to live the artist’s life, studying jazz and in no time establishing herself as a featured artist, backup vocalist and songwriter for various French groups and singers. As part of the duo Sodex, she had two club hits, including “Move Me”, featured on the soundtrack of the film “De battre mon coeur s’est arrêté”, and even collaborated with disco legend Edwin Starr on one of his last recordings, "Burns Like Fire", which she co-wrote and for which she sings backup vocals. With her warm, intimate style, Margeaux is a regular on the Paris music scene at Paris clubs such as the Sunset-Sunside and has been making a name for herself throughout France and Europe as a solo jazz artist and as a member of various European gospel groups (The 100 Voices of Gospel, Liberty Gospel...). She was a finalist with The 100 Voices of Gospel in the 2016 edition of Britain's Got Talent, one of the largest and most well-known talent competitions in the world.

In 2008, she proposed her first solo jazz album Love for Sale, which revisits the great jazz standards. A second well-received album Rain followed in 2012 with 9 original compositions and 3 standards, oscillating between jazz, pop, soul and latin music. In January 2018, Margeaux will release the first single from her new album with the album to follow in April 2018. « Love for Sale », Margeaux’s debut jazz album, was recorded in Paris with Romain Molist (piano), Nicolas Grammosenis (double bass) and Jérôme Villefranque (drums). The album reflects her true love of the great jazz standards sung by her idols Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington and Billie Holiday. She offers us simple and elegant versions of these favorites, each with its own personal musical style. The tracks “Buildin’ Walls” and “Still in the mood” give a taste of Margeaux’s own composition style, a vibrant fusion of pop, jazz and soul.  https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/margeauxlampley
