Pia Offermann

“She is nothing more than a true artist who never comes to the fore with it, but wants to talk to us about what we need today more than ever. In fact, we need music that talks about our time: ourselves, our questions and feelings, about truth, tenderness, depth or delicious lightness. And that’s what she delivers. Let’s listen to her.”  – Danielle Ribouillault, Paris
