Biography

Childhood

Aloïse Sauvage, born in September 1992 in Le Mée-sur-Seine, Seine-et-Marne, grew up there.[5] Her mother is a school principal and her father is a documentalist.[5] Aloïse Sauvage has two siblings.[6] She joined the conservatory of Le Mée-sur-Seine where she learned transverse flute, drums, and saxophone.[6]

In parallel, she practiced breakdance and wrote her first texts, including slam poetry.

After graduating from high school, she joined the Regional Center for Circus Arts in Lomme to train and prepare for auditions at higher contemporary circus schools. The following year, she auditioned for the Académie Fratellini and was accepted. She spent three years studying there,[7] specializing in "acro-dance." During her studies, she met the director and choreographer Raphaëlle Boitel, with whom she later worked and who introduced her to the person who would become her agent.[5]

Beginnings

She first appeared in a feature film in 2015 when Nicole Garcia chose her to play the role of Agostine in her film Mal de pierres, alongside Marion Cotillard and Louis Garrel.

In 2016, she joined the cast of the film 120 battements par minute.[5] She played Eva, a young woman tasked with maintaining order in the meetings of the Act Up-Paris association.[5] The film was selected at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival. That same year, she was part of the Cannes Adami Talents program.

Between September 2017 and March 2018, Sauvage released several songs: Ailleurs Higher, Aphone, and Hiver brûlant. She performed as the opening act for Eddy de Pretto.[8] Between September and November 2018, she participated in the filming of Olivier Nakache and Éric Toledano's movie Hors normes.[9] Sauvage began writing songs (and recording them) with music producers Josh Rosinet and Le Motif.[9] In November 2018, she performed at the Trans Musicales festival, where her performance was noticed.[9] During this concert, she set up a microphone suspended by a wire.[9]

In January 2019, the film Les Fauves by Vincent Mariette was released, in which she played Anne, Laura's cousin (played by Lily-Rose Depp).[6] Filming took place in the Dordogne for three months in 2018.[10]

In May 2019, she released her first EP, Jimy.

During the summer of 2019, she participated in filming the Israeli series Possessions for Canal+.[11]

In 2020, she was nominated in the révélation scène category at the 35th Victoires de la Musique ceremony.[12] During the event, she performed her song À l'horizontale.[13] On February 28, 2020, she released her first studio album, Dévorantes, and simultaneously released the music video for her single Omowi.[14]

In 2022, she released her second studio album, Sauvage, and embarked on a tour across France and French-speaking countries. She sold out the Cigale and Olympia venues that same year.

In 2023, she starred in the film Sur un fil, directed by Reda Kateb. It was her first leading role.[15]

Artistic style

Aloïse Sauvage's music is primarily rooted in rap.[16] She cites Diam's and Stromae as influences.[16] Through the lyrics of her songs, Aloïse Sauvage explores themes such as love, lesbianism (as in Jimy), homophobia (in Omowi, a play on words for "Homo, yes!"),[17] freedom, and emancipation.[16][14] She also addresses the absence of a father in Papa, cancer in Tumeur,[18] and depression in Et cette tristesse.[19] Regarding her style, Éric Bureau from Le Parisien identifies in Aloïse Sauvage "the confidence, delivery, and memorable choruses of Diam's, the poetry and freedom of Christine and the Queens, the afro-trap of rapper MHD, the auto-tuned voice of PNL, and Stromae's ability to make pain dance..."[20] She also frequently discusses sexism and the expectations it imposes, particularly physical appearance, clothing, and gender stereotypes forced on women. She also addresses the MeToo movement and its implications, sexual violence, and resistance. Aloïse Sauvage identifies as a feminist artist, advocating for deconstruction in line with the queer and LGBTQIAP+ movements to transcend gender norms.[21]

Private life

Aloïse Sauvage is an open, activist lesbian, which is reflected in her art.[21]
