About Me

"He'll sing you songs of hope and sin as you drown your sorrows with dope and gin."For those few not yet familiar with the works of ANTOINE PONCELET, the man hails from New Jersey, USA where repeated exposure to big hair, long finger nails, and bass blasting Camaros led a young upstart to pick up a guitar to challenge and offer an alternative to all that is wrong in today's musical environment. By defying the conventions of popular song and dance, ANTOINE PONCELET has crafted a wide array of songs and soundscapes to intoxicate listeners and fans of all genres of music without insulting their collective intelligence with the cliches and tripe of today's generation of pre-packaged and formulaic music. So, dim the lights, pour yourself a glass of some fine merlot, and let the music of ANTOINE PONCELET change your life forever.
