MUCHACHO
ESHETU.

Childhood in Lyon meant French outside the front door, his father's Ethiopian records on Sunday mornings, and his mother's Spanish songs drifting through the kitchen. Music was never one language. It was the thing that connected them.

He began recording after hours in a borrowed room, building small, intimate songs from tape hiss, drum machines and late-night melodies. Moving to Paris in his twenties brought a new sound: dusky synthesizers, patient bass lines and a voice that seemed to arrive from somewhere just beyond the room.

His artistic universe draws on the spaciousness of alternative R&B, the melodic spirit of Ethiopian jazz and the warmth of Latin balladry. Themes of distance, belonging and the lives we might have lived run through every release.
