TOTO TAN is an electronic music producer, composer and live performer born in France and grown in Mexico with an ethnical and percussive background. 
He always felt attracted by vibrations and frequencies.
On his earlier days, in France, he studied musicology and percussions for several years specializing on classical and oriental drums. 
Then after some years traveling back and forth between Europe and America, he was still curious about how to manage and organize frequencies in order to manipulate sound?
He ends up signing up for a music production course in Brazil where he finds the opportunity to open the door of this entire world of frequencies.
From then, a long road was awaiting. Spending hours and hours reading, documenting, talking to other artists, experimenting and learning in order to maintain that thirst of musical knowledge.
Investing each penny on wires and machines Tototan had to find a way to share this aliment that was feeding him constantly with others.
That's when universe conspired and brought a whole season of projects, involving many musicians, artists and brains.
After stepping Berlin and France for a couple of years, digging in the studio, opening new doors such as down tempo, industrial techno or trance music ends up slowly defining his musical identity and enter in whole new chapter... 
Now back in Mexico with a solid live set that always keeps evolving and changing in order to keep growing and sharing!

As Ricky Tinez always say: 
"Share the love, share the knowledge, knowledge is power! "

After two decades trying to have a grown up's life, Fred Ozanne gave up. Not that he didn't try hard enough : he spent seven years at the national academy of music, years of part time jobs and years of being a music teacher. Briefly, he made a living as a composer and even won a few awards ; for scoring a ballet, he was nominated for the Victoires de la musique (the french Grammy awards), he won the Haagen Dasz contest of electronic music, won a award of the Sacem (the french ASCAP) and scored the documentary "There is no direction" witch got into the Cannes Festival in 2005... and you can hear lots of his songs in various famous TV shows in France. 
But in this line of work, Fred feels captured, frustrated, far from his adolescent dream : being a singer/songwriter and performing live. But he is way too shy to come close to this dream and slowly, Fred is sinking in depression. 

At 37 years old, Fred miraculously survive a terrible accident. A wake up call, he decided to turn his life around : he auditions for the famous french rock band Dionysos and gets hired to go on tour with them as a piano player where he learns the ropes of a big rock group. Then he released a self produced E.P under his name, after that he puts together his own band, FOZ,  and tours with it during two years. All of those new projects help him get over his fears witch leads Fred to his new project : I'm 7Teen. 

The first tracks came out from his artistic director and long time friend's studio : Yann Féry. On stage, Matthias Moreno will take over the drums as well. 

Sound wise : 

Harmonies inspired from classical music's very best (Brahms, Pärt...), together with electrical nervousness taken from artists such as Radiohead, Nick Cave and Cat Power... all that with a touch of electronic Music (LCD soundsystem, Trent Moller). At the end you'll hear a warm sound  build around acoustic guitar ; his roots. Behind the strong and powerfull vocals you'll find lyrics that will take you inside the singer's head and heart.

Après 2 décennies à essayer d'avoir une vie d'adulte et sans y parvenir, Fred Ozanne a jeté l'éponge. Il a pourtant mis le paquet: 7 ans de Conservatoire, des années de petits boulots et de cours de musique, puis toute une période où il gagne sa vie grâce à la composition et rafle quelques prix au passage: musique d'un ballet nominé aux Victoires de la Musique 1995, lauréat du concours Haagen Dasz de musique électronique, bourse Sacem pour la musique de films, bo du documentaire There is no direction présenté à Cannes en 2005... et toutes ses musiques qu'on peut entendre dans les émissions comme Thalassa, Les Nouveaux Explorateurs, ect.
Mais ces commandes gardent pour Fred une allure de captivité, loin de son rêve d'ado: chanter et jouer sur scène. Bien trop renfermé pour ça, il s'isole au contraire et approche dangereusement le fond.

Mais à 37 ans il réchappe miraculeusement d'un accident. Electrochoc. Les choses basculent: Fred auditionne pour Dionysos et est pris pour les tournées où il apprend en accéléré la vie d'un groupe de rock. Il sort un Ep autoproduit sous le nom de Fred Ozanne, puis monte un groupe, FOZ, avec lequel il tourne pendant presque 2 ans. Tout cela use sa grande timidité et aboutit au projet d'aujourd'hui, I'm 7teen.

Les premiers titres sortent du studio de Yann Féry, réalisateur de l'album et grand complice de l'aventure. Matthias Moreno est à la batterie.

Côté son

La musique de I'm 7teen puise au départ dans les harmonies et le solennel de la musique classique (Brahms, Pärt), pour aller se frotter aux aspérités électriques du rock (Radiohead, Nick Cave, Cat Power..) et à l'obstination de l'electro (LCD Soundsystem, Trente Moller..). Ca donne un son assez chaud, parfois tendu, qui ne se coupe jamais de la touche acoustique qui le charpente. La technique et la puissance vocale tentent de tromper son monde en portant des textes d'une grande fragilité.
