French-born and Lisbon-based, Marie Minet crafts a sound that lives between worlds—between chanson française and West African highlife, between poetic melancholy and warm, rhythmic joy. After a chance performance in a Lisbon bar, her path shifted from international relations to intimate musical storytelling.

With her debut album Clair-Obscur, Minet explores themes of self-discovery, vulnerability, and the cross-cultural beauty of sound. Influenced by her travels, classical roots, and spontaneous encounters, her music evokes emotion with grace—whether on the piano ballad “Happy End,” or “Prête à tout.”

Singing in French with a universal soul, Marie Minet is part of a new wave of independent artists redefining what it means to be global and grounded at once.
