**Fonteyn, Jean-Luc Eldenwood** UK native **Fonteyn** spent her formative years pursuing Musical Theatre and acting in England, but it wasn’t until she started making music that she felt able to express herself authentically. Writing songs provided a home for her idiosyncrasies to coexist. Bewitched by the sound of the 70’s, Fonteyn draws from her musical idols, Carole King, Todd Rundgren and Paul McCartney, to name a few. Her debut album “Trip the light Fantastic” offers music centered around rainbow chords and melody. The songs are playful, sentimental, and offer a sense of the theatrical. Fonteyn wants to take you by the hand and sweep you into another time and place. "Trip the light Fantastic" is an introduction to Fonteyn's songwriting and musical soundscape. Drawing from a rainbow of influences in 1970's pop, the album is a hedonistic exploration of melody with each song in pursuit of a particular musical feeling. ••• “I’ve got dreams you know, but they’re just dreams you know” sings **Jean-Luc Eldenwood** on his latest single ‘20 Something’. His gentle yet commanding and controlled voice floats above the jangling melodies and stretched guitar sounds as he asks “whatcha doing 20 something?” provoking us regardless of our age to think for a second..”what am i doing?”… One thing is clear the 26 year old Mission-Veijo born Jean-Luc knows exactly what he’s doing, and thats inviting us into his uniquely crafted soundscape that feels both comfortably nostalgic and wildly original at the same time. Growing up in a multi cultural household, His mother American born and his father from France Jean-Luc didn’t have the typical So Cal upbringing saying “My identity was never solidly one thing; I never felt fully American, nor could I claim to be fully French, I was just Jean-Luc. While this perturbed me for a time, I quickly learned to appreciate my innate ambiguity. It allowed me to curate myself from the ground up”. The dualistic nature of his upbringing combined with his parents love for music, who played everything from April March to Stevie Nicks saying “Music was always played very loudly in my house. Louder than any other house on the block” It’s no wonder Jean-Luc has been able to combine different genres, styles and influences so effortlessly into his own music. “I am a singer-songwriter. I have been crafting songs since I was twelve ever since I heard Stevie Nicks sing her own music and realized that in a song you build a whole world and crystalize it forever, and you could go there whenever you like.” Jean-Luc Says “ As a child I was fascinated by magic; I constantly dreamt that I could fly and I wrote spells in all my school notebooks and in the margins of every essay. I still love magic, and I still do feel like I am flying when I am at the piano singing a newly written song. My music is my magic, my songs are my spells.” Currently living in the Miracle Mile neighborhood in Los Angeles with his husband Baptiste and small dog Nathan Jean-Luc is a voice, piano, and songwriting teacher by day cementing that above all else he is a dedicated musician “I must say that I do have a very devoted mind, I am almost always thinking about music, so all of my passions seem to lead back to music.” If you take the time to listen to Jean-Luc sing, see him perform live or talk to him about music, you’ll quickly see that his passion for music is not only the inspiration for his songs, but its truly his way of life. With this mix i’ve title Making Magic I hope you’re able to hear not only the music thats inspired Jean-Luc to create but also the magic he’s found within these songs as well.
