Before becoming Pastel, Yann played in a few band as Bassist, Guitarist or Drummer.
"I couldn't find the exact sound that I wanted with the band so I decided to make a few demos to find musicians, but I actually kept things like this and started my own project.
It has been 3 years that I am now working on this project."
Choosing London as a city to reside was part of his choices to grow his project for something more international.
"I have always been influenced by the English Music Culture and thought that would be a good thing for me to learn the language and find more opportunities."

Pastel is now working on some collaborations, singles and also a second EP.
"I think my style has changed since I started Pastel, it's less uptempo than before and want to add more instruments in my music to be able to play them live. I have been listening to Soul, Hip Hop or R&B music and it will defenetely influence me for the second EP".
