BIOGRAPHY
Mylène Chamblain is a French singer-songwriter born in 1980 in France and based in Belgium since 2005. She is a well-rounded artist with a true artistic signature.
Drawing inspiration from the vintage sounds of the 70s as well as contemporary Rock and Blues, Mylène Chamblain has refined her musical identity over the years, shaped by her early exposure to legendary Blues, Country, Rock, and Road Music artists such as Johnny Cash, Kenny Chesney, B.B. King, The Rolling Stones, Chris Whitley, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Chris Isaak, Eric Clapton, Bonnie Raitt, and influenced by renowned Americana artists such as John Mayer, Tift Merritt, Grace Potter, Jonny Lang, Joe Bonamassa, Susan Tedeschi, Derek Trucks Band...
She found her place in the Country-Folk & Blues genre with her debut album Hold Fast (2004) and gained further recognition with her EP Body and Soul (2021), which placed her prominently on Americana, Blues-Rock, and Pop-Rock playlists.
Often compared to American artist Sheryl Crow for her distinctive musical style, typical of a true Americana songwriter, as well as her vocal timbre, Mylène nonetheless creates authentic and original music that fully reveals her personality and character. Both audiences and her peers recognize her undeniable musical authenticity.
Mylène Chamblain has also released several singles in collaboration with other French and Belgian artists, including an EP and nearly a dozen tracks with the Belgian band Plain Jane since 2019. She has shared the stage with renowned artists such as Beverly Jo Scott, Big Country, k’S Choice, Boogie Beasts, Sharko, Sarah Jory, and Ghalia Volt, and performed at major international festivals such as Country Music Mirande (France), Visagino Country (Lithuania), Festival de Craponne (France), Les Faubourgs du Blues (France), Festival de Cerexhe (Belgium), not to mention a several-day tour in the USA and England when she was 22.
Although a more than 10-year break in her career was not entirely by her own choice, she has no regrets about the time that passed, as it allowed her music to mature. She now finds herself as both a woman and an artist more fulfilled than ever.
A true ray of warmth and authenticity on stage, Mylène offers a guaranteed American road trip, whether through her albums or live performances! With her brand new 12-track album DRIVE ME MAD, the artist is back stronger than ever, crossing Belgian borders that she has longed for.
