The French producer JC Le Saoutin art Wax TailorIn just a few years, he has become one of the most credible ambassadors of the trip-hop, hip-hop and downtempo scene internationally. With four albums to his credit and more than 400 concerts in over 50 countries, including alongside a symphony orchestra, Wax Tailor comes in concert the 29 November a Rome at the Circolo degli Artisti.
A fiercely independent multi-faceted artist with a background as a mc, DJ and producer of hip-hop bands in the 1990s, JC Le Saout took its first steps towards different sounds in 2002, the year the project was founded Wax Tailor.
In 2005 his first album 'Tales of the Forgotten Melodies" was released in France to public and critical acclaim and was immediately considered a trip-hop classic. The turning point, however, came with "Hope & Sorrow"of 2007: with guests of the calibre of Ursula RuckereSharon Jones, the album is an instant success, becoming a gold disc and earning a nomination at the US Indie Music Awards and at the French Academy Awards Victoires de la Musique.
Another gold disc in France followed in 2009 with '.In The Mood For Life"after a 150-date world tour, Wax Tailorreleases the CD/DVD 'Live at L'Olympia"before returning on the road again with the symphony orchestra of the Rouen Opera.
For his latest album, 'Dusty Rainbow From The Dark" of 2012, the French producer has returned to his first love, the art of sampling, but using samples in an innovative way, as authentic musical instruments to create new melodies. The record is an ambitious concept involving sound, writing and the visual arts: a fairy-tale celebration of the escapist power of music with a stellar cast, including long-time collaborators (Charlotte Savary, Sara Genn, Mattic, A.S.M, Ali Harter) and new names (Aloe Blacc, Elzhi, Jennifer Charles, Shana Halligan, Akua).
