Hello everyone! Thank you for visiting my myspace page! I must say I am amazed to see myself writing these words... not so long ago, I didn't even know such a thing existed! Dont get me wrong, I am all for technology but fortunately for the evolution of the world, I am a singer and not a scientist!
I left the romantic streets of Paris at the age of 17 to pursue my music in the bilingual city of Montreal, Canada. The couple of years I spent there were a stepping-stone for a transition from teenager to adult and from dreamer to artist. I was then ready to move to the city that I had always viewed as the music capital of the world: New York.
Montréal gave me my first stage experiences and introduced me to a whole new world of music. I was thrilled to join The People’s Gospel Choir of Montréal and was a part of their Vibe Award winning album. I have also recorded songs for film and a television commercial in France.
As soon as I arrived in New York, I knew that I was in the right place and quickly found my way in the local New York music scene. I co-wrote and recorded my first album, Unfinished Life, with singer/songwriter Craig Wilson. In the meantime, I have been playing my songs around New York in venues such as The Bitter End, Crash Mansion, and R&R.
“Joséphine is an obvious romantic and sings with sweetness and hope although a certain melancholy and awareness of life’s pains and difficulties show her sensitivity in most of her songs. They have been described as ‘Sweetly sung, counting up regrets such as in the standout, Right Here.’â€
Unfinished Life is an honest representation of who I am, with a persisting little French accent...
Je voulais aussi écrire quelque mots en français... Tout dabord pour que lon ne croit pas que je dis que je suis française juste parce que les américains trouvent ça sexy; et je vous le confirme, ils trouvent ça sexy! lol Mais aussi parce que jaurais le sentiment dêtre très snob si je reniais ma langue et ma culture. Elles font partie de moi et me sont très chères. Jai bien sûr dans lintention décrire et de chanter en français. Jai commencé par langlais parce que jadore travailler à New-York mais quelques chansons en français font partie du programme.

Review by Radio Now - Live 365 on Apr 24, 2008
Wow! That word comes to mind once the vocals came on, talk about pure talent!
Review by Wildy's World of May 16, 2008
Joséphine brings a certain grit and vivacity to her music that is belied by her little-girl looks. To say I was pleasantly surprised by her CD Unfinished Life is an understatement. (…)
Joséphine offers up twelve very mature and emotionally honest songs on Unfinished Life. Songs range from ballad to soul-influenced rock. (…)
All in all there is not a weak song here, and there is life in these songs that would seem to belie a mischievous and fun streak in the artist. It is a talent to be able to project these traits into recorded media on a consistent basis. If Joséphine can project these traits live then her concerts will be a treat worth lining up for. (…)
The texture of Joséphine's voice would make her interesting to listen to if she were singing names out of the phonebook.
Joséphine is a very talented and worthy artist, and Unfinished Life is very much worth a listen or six. I highly recommend Joséphine’s Unfinished Life to my readers.
Review by Indie Music Sample Podcast on May 06, 2008
I played "Meant To Fly" on episode 90 of Indie Music Sampler. There's always room on my program for a good "na na na" song. I love the album title "Unfinished Life" too. I just like her energy and presentation.
Review by BRCFP on Apr 10, 2008
Unfinished Life is a great album of poppy folky sounding songs. Love "Meant to fly" a really catchy pop track. I Think of you (je pense a toi) is a lovely ballad; The French bits make it sound kinda sensual; great track. Her French accent comes out on "Bit by bit" but its another great ballad. “Stronger" is a bit faster and bit more rocky.... Great guitar… love it. Great vocalist and songwriter. Great album.
