Biography

ARTIST: AGENT DOUBLEE - Renée Asteria

"sunny live sound is similar to Kate Bush, Lene Lovich, Portishead & Sade, peppered with tropical sounding Latin and reggae beats (...)

Upbeat, powerful and tight show with her band that had the crowd dancing all night" (Dan-o)

"Musically adventurous, lyrically innovative ... unusual vocal flourishes and non-typical constructs, her lyrics bring a kind of magical realism to everything from human relationships to the battle between man and mosquito ... free-flowing, high-spirited, extremely engaging and utterly unique musical experience." (Chuck Foster - The Beat)

"The best live concert I have ever been to."

"That was a party." (fans)

BIOGRAPHY in English (Español en seguida, Français plus bas)

Agent Doublee's music is multilingual and multicultural, blending folk-rock, reggae, latin, and more. Her 'sunny live sound is similar to Kate Bush, Lene Lovich, Portishead & Sade, peppered with tropical sounding Latin and reggae beats' (Dan-O). The New Jersey-born, France-dwelling artist of Bolivian-Dutch descent draws her inspiration from lessons learned during her travels. She has collaborated with musicians from Argentina, California, NY, Europe and Africa.

In 2007 Agent Doublee completed her second production entitled 'Faces of Agent Double E' with producer Matias Martyn (Tibetan Monkey) in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The album was released live on Rock & Pop FM, (95.5 FM Buenos Aires) and was followed by a 6-month tour of the USA where Agent Doublee performed with local bands in New York City, Connecticut, California and Louisiana.

After an excellent summer debut at the Montreal Jazz Festival with the Dub and the Restless, Agent Doublee is settling in SF Bay to work with 7th Street Sound - hard hitting roots reggae band from Berkeley - CA (http://myspace.com/7thstreetsound). Their high positive energy performances are not to be missed!

Biographie

"L'effet ensoleillé de sa musique a été comparé à celui de Kate Bush, Lene Lovich, Portishead & Sade pimenté avec des rythmes tropicaux de Latin et de Reggae "

"Un spectacle énergétique et puissant que faisait danser le publique toute la soirée" (Dan-o)

"Musicalement innovatrice...chantant en anglais et espagnol avec un group qui groove et qui se débrouille a faire le complément de ses éclectiques acrobaties vocaux et ses constructions de phrases non typiques, ses textes emmène un réalisme magique a tout allant des relations humains au bataille entre l'homme et la moustique (...) une expérience musicale complètement unique." (Chuck Foster - The Beat)

"La meilleure actuation en live que j'ai vue de ma vie."

"Ça c'était une fête" (fans)
