Pascal Danaë, singer songwriter and guitar player, was born in Paris. Throughout his career, Pascal played with artists such as Peter Gabriel, Neneh Cherry, Morcheeba, Harry Bellafonte, Youssou’n’Dour or more recently Ayo.
He also co-wrote songs with Richard Bona (Eyala), Just Jinger (Care about him) or Souad Massi (Tell me Why* and Kilyoum - ‘Mesk elil’, 2006 Winner, Best World Music album of the year at the BBC Awards and at the French Victoires de la Musique. *Tell me Why is song in duet with Pascal).
In 1997 Pascal leaves Paris for England, country source of inspiration (with the Beatles, the Police, Radiohead, etc.) and settles down in London for nearly 10 years. During this time he keeps sharpening his live performing, afro-rock guitar style and talent for song writing.
Pascal Danaë’s debut album 'London > Paris' is a ‘souvenir’ of nearly 10 years spent in London. The album was recorded in Pascal's cellar together with Richard ‘Jack’ Guy (INXS). Very talented musicians and close friends joined the duet to create a soulful acoustic album that flirts with folk and blues... An amazing album.

Sample reviews:
'Angel Snatch. This artist is out of this world. The vocals are emotion filled dynamite accented with perfect vibrato and voice inflection. The guitar part is subtle, professional, and pure genius only adding and never taking away from the essence of the song. The words are real and the way they are put into verse is stunning. Get ready because the train is coming and I predict a wild wild ride to Pascal Danae.' njbailey from Missouri/Review about 'School Yard'
