2002 – MLE Narcisse
Edmond started writing lyrics from 1996. His first titles are sung adaptations from instrumental versions of the trip-hop wave (Dj Cam(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DJ_Cam)). His influences are various : Etienne Daho(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etienne_Daho), Sho Ayami(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sh%C5%8D_Hayami), for the voice, Mylène Framer(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mylene_farmer), Robert(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_(singer)), for the lyrics, Deee-Lite(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deee_lite), Pet Shop Boys(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pet_shop_boys) and Pizzicato Five(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pizzicato_Five) for the music. In 2000 he leaves his native West of France to go and study Japanese language and civilization in Paris. It’s during this period that Edmond makes his debut as a singer-song writer by releasing his first album on the 20th of December 2002 : MLE Narcisse (multimedia limited edition). This album, in numbered and limited edition (25 in total), is actually a multimedia CD including pictures and videos. Each of it has its own silkscreen.

2003 – Journey in Japan
In December 2002, Edmond leaves Paris, for a year, to go to Tokyo for living and working. During his stay he’ll write most of the lyrics from his forthcoming album “Tsumi”. That’s also when he’s going to work and improve his voice in particular in karaoke. He’s also going to learn to like new musical styles like rock/hard rock (Shiina Ringo(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiina_Ringo), Hyde(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyde_(musician))), r&b (Utada Hikaru(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utada_Hikaru) , BoA(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BoA)). This journey will be an opportunity to immerse himself into new tendencies.

2004 – Tsumi
Back to Paris, Edmond starts the composition of his new album “Tsumi”. The first single to be released this year is “dream multimedia single”, on the 14th of February. The single includes two instrumental sessions and a previously unreleased remix from on title of the album “Narcisse MLE”: TAKO. It also includes as a multimedia bonus a photo gallery and series of videos made in Paris, Tokyo and Agadir (where Edmond spent holidays when he came back from Tokyo). On the first of May is released a new single entitled “Playboy”. For the first time Edmond released an electro-rock song, quite avant-garde at this time. It is also the year of his first live performance in the 13th arrondissement of Paris as he released the single “Back in Club”, on the 21st of June. The single gets a really positive feedback from the public. The song is written in three different languages mixed together: French, English and Japanese.
