Keren Ann (IL)

About

Also known as: K. Zeidel, Keren Ann Zeidel, קרן אן

Keren Ann's songs have a way of turning up right when a TV show needs a lump in the throat. "Not Going Anywhere" ended up in Grey's Anatomy, "Jardin d'hiver" in Six Feet Under, and "My Name is Trouble" in Nurse Jackie and later Baby Reindeer. She writes, produces and arranges her own material, moving between French and English, and plays guitar, piano and clarinet. Since her 2000 debut La Biographie de Luka Philipsen she has put out eight solo albums, including Nolita, 101 and Bleue. Off to the side she has a duo with Icelandic musician Barði Jóhannsson called Lady & Bird, who even co wrote an opera, Red Waters, that played four French opera houses. She has also co written for others, from Henri Salvador's Chambre Avec Vue to Emmanuelle Seigner's Dingue, and she even built the entire sound design for the TV channel Arte.
