About
Born in Paris, Eugénie VP grew up in Barbizon and then Fontainebleau. Trained in piano from childhood at the Fontainebleau Conservatory, she joined a jazz band at the age of nine, took singing lessons and attended workshops at the Centre des Musiques Didier Lockwood.
At 18, she was already performing on big stages with the Worldchild collective (Théâtre de Fontainebleau, Casino de Paris, venues of the Train des Pièces Jaunes tour).
After a Master's in European Politics and Franco-German Cooperation at Sciences Po Strasbourg, she founded her own company in Fontainebleau in 2016. Throughout all those years, music remained her common thread.
In 2019 she moved to Germany, formed a band and began writing and composing her own songs in French, English and German. From 2022 to 2026 she gave concert after concert across the Rhine, solo or as a trio, with her own songs and a repertoire of French chanson covers, accompanying herself on piano and keytar.
Her compositions also took her to the UNESCO stage in Paris in 2024, the year marking 60 years of Franco-Chinese friendship. There she opened the 21st International Congress of Chinese Medicine with the Franco-Chinese version of her song N'Aie plus le Blues Blanche, written in 2020 as a tribute to healthcare workers.
After her first solo single Vahine Vanira, inspired by Polynesia, Eugénie VP is finalising her debut album, due for release in early 2027. Her autobiographical song Ma Bulle is already out. In autumn 2026 she unveils two more powerful songs from the album: Green Revolution and Ma Grammaire m'a dit.
An "old school" artist?
An '80s keytar, acoustic piano, very few effects on the voice, a funky groove carried by a vibrant bass… "You're so old school, Eugénie VP!"
She has heard it often. Yet she keeps writing voice-and-piano songs and pop funk against the current – songs that sound like her. She wants to stay true to herself and draws much of her inspiration from the music of the '70s and '80s.
With original lyrics in three languages, Eugénie VP shakes up the rules.
What if being "old school" in 2026 actually meant being ahead of your time?After all, trends – like life – go in cycles…
