Bio
Also known as Le Verbe
Parfait Bassalé is an American singer songwriter and peacemaker originally from Benin Republic (West Africa) whose music is known to take listeners on an emotional journey. His lyrical vulnerability- dressed with haunting melodies and carried by soulful and velvet vocals- trigger introspection, self discovery and a "feel good vibe."
Reflective of his immigrant story, Parfait’s music echoes sounds from various musical traditions. He is a crossover artist between pop, reggae, neo-soul, French conscious hip hop and gospel. You are in for a treat!
Parfait usually performs solo acts but occasionally teams up with various guest instrumentalists. Notable collaborations include with cellist arranger James Dehart, conductor Cameron May, Jazz arranger Mark Thome, jazz artist Dominic Castillo and the SPSCC orchestra.
