About

Arthur Rey is a French composer, pianist and performer. He grew up near Lyon, where he was introduced to music at an early age. Trained as a pianist, he began learning at the age of 5 and quickly developed a taste for imagining and creating his own melodies. Arthur draws his creativity from the diversity of his influences, but also from his completely free approach to composition. His music is contemporary, influenced by trends in minimalist music, but also by film music, pop, electronic, alternative and rock music.

His influences also come from other art forms: literature, cinema and theatre. "These are my influences. There's a tendency to put music into a genre, but you can't know what's going on in an artist's head when they're composing, just as you can't identify all their influences. In fact, I couldn't even tell you. I can tell you what I like: Fincher, the Chainsmokers, Placebo, Juste la fin du monde, Nothomb, Because the Internet, Chazelle & Hurwitz, Fred Again live shows, Coldplay, Gary, Placebo, Daft Punk, Baricco, Djawadi, Salinger, Suzume, or Lucrèce Borgia. Go figure. I mentioned the first ones that popped into my head. It doesn't really matter. Every project is a new story, and there are as many stories to tell as there are ways of telling them. You can feed off everything: reading, writing, listening, composing, it's all the same thing."

Arthur establishes his universe through his first four singles, from solo piano to orchestral music, exploring experimental and ambient music and, more broadly, sound in all its complexity. He explores different ways of composing and producing, from recording improvisation sessions with 'Quelque part entre 2020 et 2021' to more 'produced' works like 'Un (autre) récit'. His work is a vast field of research and experimentation, as is the way he shares it with others. He racked up hundreds of thousands of streams with his first four singles, and is rapidly developing his presence on a number of platforms, notably Spotify, where he features on major classical and instrumental music playlists. Between 2022 and 2023, he worked as a composer on DAAVRIL's album 'REMOTION', released in spring 2024. Since June 2024, Arthur has been on the official reference list of the ASM (Association des Superviseurs Musicaux) in France. In particular, he was nominated by the prestigious jury of French music supervisors for the Cannes Sync Awards, which selects music with strong synchronisation potential.
