Roman Madrolle
Roman Madrolle was born in France on April 16, 1980. He released his debut album in 2009. Any Place But Home mirrors Roman’s life experiences: his family and early age expatriation are strong influences in his work.
Career
In 2005, he joined the One Voice project, a charity compilation album for the reconstruction of Hurricane Katrina-devastated schools. His song, The Pain Within her Heart obtained critical acclaim. The song will later be reused on his debut album.
By 2007, Roman will have played over 500 shows. The increasing appeal of the public begins casting shadows over his career with multinational companies. Roman abandons his job before x-mas to focus entirely on his passion. The production of Any Place but Home and the music video for The House of the Rising Sun is completed before the turn of the year.
The album release was supported by live shows in several landmark venues in Brussels: Centre for Fine Arts, Brussels (BOZAR), Orangerie of the Botanique, Ancienne Belgique
