AnneMalhotra

Anne is currently finishing a Masters in Communications in Paris. Music is her airplane. Curious and open, she likes to discover new sounds and artists in concerts, on the radio, picking randomly CDs at the record store. She has a keen interest in original electro-psychedelic rock variations and experimental sounds. Anne joined the team in July of this year as a musical bee—flying from gigs to gigs. Combining her love for music and writing, she posts critics of what’s happening on the Paris music scene. Passionate but critical, she has a sharp sense of what’s new and is always looking for fresh and innovative sounds to be highlighted. Raised in a multicultural environment, Anne’s tastes have been influenced by many genres such as French Rock, ethnic jazzy pop, Indian techno music, British pop, US 1980s funk-rock, but also grunge. Ultimately her goal is to work as a music promoter and bring talent on the forefront.
