Dominique Ané was born on October 6 1968 in Provins.
Dominique A has become a sort of figurehead for French ‘minimalist’ music of the 90’s. Renowned for his melancholy melodies and his moody lyrics infused with social realism, Dominique A is certainly one of the French music scene’s most original voices.
In 1990 he produced his own début album, recording it on a simple four-track in a makeshift home studio. He had 150 vinyl copies of the album pressed and distributed his début work, entitled "Un Disque Sourd", to radio stations and music critics. This highly innovative form of marketing soon paid off, DJs and other music professionals admiring the young man’s nerve and appreciating his original touch. Armed with nothing but a simple synthesiser and a guitar, Dominique A had managed to create his own distinctive style, setting his stark vocals against a minimalist background of random sounds.
...
Dominique A’s seventh album, "L'Horizon", was released on 6 March 2006. As demanding of himself as ever, Dominique A produced an album where both the finely-honed lyrics and arrangements and his vocal delivery were even more intense than ever. The overall tone was once again serious and tinged with melancholy. "L'Horizon" was hailed as a masterpiece by the critics, confirming Dominique A as one of the leading exponents of ‘new French chanson.’
