Manu Lanvin is a French blues rock singer-songwriter, guitarist and producer. He's the son of French actor Gérard Lanvin.
Undoubtedly, it was his collaboration with Texan singer Calvin Russell that triggered this new direction. In 2009, he co-wrote, produced, and directed Russell's testament album "Dawg Eat Dawg." This sharp turn was a wise choice because as soon as the album "MAUVAIS CASTING" was released in 2012, success and events rapidly followed. He was selected to represent France at the International Blues Challenge (IBC) in Memphis in 2014, and finally won the Cognac Blues Passions Prize in July 2015. During this infernal tour, the Devil Blues found time to produce the brilliant "SON(S) OF THE BLUES" in 2014, which retains a large part of the musical heritage of the southern United States and Highway 61.
"BLUES, BOOZE AND ROCK’N’ROLL" is undoubtedly Manu's album of maturity and earned him praise from the music press and recognition from professionals. The album was selected as one of the "Best Albums of the Year" by Le Parisien, his show was recognized as one of the best performances of the year by Rock & Folk magazine, and Manu was nominated for "Best Male Performer" at the 2017 Globes de Cristal. Finally, a bluesman appeared among the big names in the French music scene.
