the Neart

Stacey King-Garnero is a young and talented female vocalist, a lady blessed with a multicultural blend of African and European roots.

An authentic, self-made woman whose proficiency in singing is simply astonishing, her voice - both magical and sensual - carries a rare sense of emotion that one encounters only with the greatest singers. She is a linguist, at home in five languages, yet each is the language of her soul. Her influences stem from mother Afrika, and in the tradition of a griot she sings with the knowledge of the ancients.

She has blazed the Ibiza dance trail, made waves on the British dance music scene, performed in a series of concerts for the past three years including events and galas in Japan, the Sultanate of Oman, Germany, Dubai, Spain and Switzerland. But her feet are firmly planted in France.

Patrice Garnero is a French pianist who studied for two years at the school of jazz AMR in Geneva. He rapidly came to prominence, and joined a number of cover bands across Switzerland. But his passion remained composing, so he joined Jive, a music label studio in Paris, and began working on jingles, advertisements and compositions for the label’s artists.

Coming back to Switzerland, he worked on two albums by Macyre Silla, playing on his world tour. He composed all the songs on Stacey King’s album Femme D’Afrique, having played with her for four straight years at the Montreux Jazz Festival.
But all the time - as now - he has kept on working: composing and producing...

Moussa Bouhadra, The NEART’s guitarist, was awarded a diploma by MAY of Nancy with Magna cum Laude in 1992, and has taught guitar in schools of that region ever since. He has played with many of the great Rai artists: Abdy, with whom in 2000 he made the CD Galbi, arranged by Safy Boutella and Sulee B. Wax; Cheb Kader; and Cheb Bilal, with whom he has played all across Europe and the Maghreb for the past decade.

He records for a number of other artists - but nothing will stop him working with Stacey King and The NEART, especially with an album in the pipeline.

Ivan Rougny started playing bass at 16, influenced at first by funk before he discovered Marcus Miller, Miles Davis’ inspirational bassist; Mark King’s playing with Level 42; Michel Alibo; and, of course, Jaco Pastorius.

He frequently tours around Europe with a number of artists, particularly with his main projects: Mörglbl (a jazz /metal trio with Christophe Godin on guitar), Metal Kartoon, Jeremy Tordjman (a French guitar player), Kara (a singer from Senegal) and Yasmine Tamara (pop singer from Switzerland).

And, of course, The NEART...
