Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Alexandra
I am an independent journalist, specializing in music and society. I collaborate with several press titles including Magic RPM, Tsugi, and the daily newspaper Libération (formerly Paul.e, New Witch, Cheek!, Le Bonbon Nuit...). I particularly write about music, which I often use as an entry point to discuss broader societal issues (with an affinity for topics related to the female body, gender relations, discrimination, as well as new aesthetic and visual trends, with a sociological, political, committed, feminist approach).
In parallel to this activity, I am the co-founder and co-producer of the podcast T'as mal où? dedicated to the physical and mental health of artists.
I also write bios and promotional blurbs for artists and labels for album/EP releases (Adé, Isaac Delusion, Illa...) and press releases summarizing several festivals (most recently We Love Green). I also do curation and moderation of roundtables (Elles Fest, Pop & Psy, MaMA Music and Convention...).
