Born in Athens, Georgia, Peyroux grew up in a musical home. Her “rough and stormy” New York childhood took a pivotal turn when her parents’ divorced and 12-year-old Peyroux moved to France with her mother. The musical teen soon found herself in Paris’ Latin Quarters busking with street musicians, mastering performance skills and breathing in the ‘nomad spirit’. It was here that she was discovered by Atlantic Records. And in 1996, Dreamland, her debut album, introduced a smokey, brooding voice that prompted references to Billie Holiday. It was her next release, 2004 Careless Love, produced by multiple Grammy winner Larry Klein (Joni Mitchell, Herbie Hancock), that propelled the artist into stardom. Peyroux has recorded nine albums, certified gold and platinum in several countries round the world, and collaborated with some of the finest musicians in the studio and on stage. She bravely explores new ground and transcends genres while keeping a solid jazz base, all while increasingly writing her own material. Her latest album Lets Walk (2024), comprises all new material co-penned with Jon Herington.

Each song welcomes the close listener in with open arms– always beckoning truth, authenticity and the courage to tell one’s story.
