EliotE: "Lo-fille + Jazz Riot Grrrl"
EliotE mostly writes her own lyrics in English. I help out with the odd phrase here and there - some of them very odd indeed, in keeping with her idiosyncratic style.
However, she does have two songs where the lyrics are wholly mine. For Floppy Fringe, she asked me to write a text which she could then set to music. For Going Places, I was supposed to help her with a lyric she'd already written, but my "help" ended up seeing me rewrite the whole thing!
I'm smudie, a Scot living in Paris.
As a lyricist, I write both for and in collaboration with several local artists who sing in English. Some of the people who have sung my lyrics include Nadj, eliotE & the Ritournelles, General Bye Bye, and OrangeColumbo.
I'm always on the lookout for interesting new projects. Send me an email if you think we could work together.
