Through her debut single and music video, “Bien,” the multicultural and multitalented Aicha Dosso brings back the delicate art of Parisian cabaret, mixing it beautifully with modern New York City vibes. Born in Ivory Coast, the artist grew up in Paris, where she studied English at La Sorbonne and moved to New York to study method acting at the prestigious acting school Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute. Being deeply connected to NYC and Paris’s cultures, she is in her natural habitat when mixing their spirits into her heartfelt composition.
Aicha describes it as, “Living in two languages – French and English – has been of great importance to me as a writer and as a performer.” She adds, “While Parisian cabaret songs are, in a way, my natural environment – I was immersed in it since childhood as my parents were great admirers of Edith Piaf – I feel I can add a special New York flavor to my songs. Learning to express myself in English opened up a space for emotions that I could not release in my native language. The boldness of English made me adventurous and allowed me to say things in my French- language songs that I could not articulate before,” reflects Dosso.
