Artist Portrait

Jeff Hallam

b, cb, FR
Rock and Electronic

Jeff Hallam, l’enfant de Stayton (Oregon), à une heure de route de Portland -« La Mecque de la scène indépendante », dit-il, comme Seattle le fut pour le grunge. Non loin des fermes et des usines de mobil-homes, ce coin aurait pu héberger n’importe quelle nouvelle de Raymond Carver. À dix ans son père, ex-marine puis inspecteur des impôts, lui offre une guitare en plastique sur laquelle il se fait les doigts. Premières chansons, premiers groupes au lycée, quelques concerts. À dix-huit ans, Jeff quitte Stayton et pour aller vivre ailleurs : Portland, Tokyo, San Francisco, New York et finalement Paris. En 2008, il fonde My Friend Jeff où il joue et chante ses propres compositions pop-rock-blues avec Csaba Palotaï (guitare) Boris Boublil (claviers) et Emmanuel Marée (batterie). En 2014, il sort son premier EP. Un nouvel EP de My Friend Jeff sortira fin 2016 ! Parallèlement, il travaille avec les artistes Robi, Vincent Delerm, Brisa Roché et également avec Dominique A et Hindi Zahra, actuellement en tournée dans toute la France. Jeff Hallam made his musical debut in his hometown of Portland, Oregon, as a bass player in various jazz bands, rock and folk. He then flew to Tokyo where, in the company of a handful of exiled Californian musicians, forms and records Aka Dig Japop album (Sony Records Japan), mix of funk, jazz and pop. In 2001, Jeff Hallam wins Paris. In 2008, he founded My friend Jeff where he plays and sings his own indie folk compositions and released the first EP in 2014. The second EP My Friend Jeff will be released the end of 2016! Meanwhile, he worked with singers Robi, Vincent Delerm, Brisa Roché and also with Dominique A and Hindi Zahra, currently on tour throughout France.
