Project Support
The support we provide is aimed to take musicians from amateur practice to professionalization, together and over time. Project support allows them to access multiple resources: material, technical, structural & human, thanks to our local partners network.
Artistic support
A path to professionalization
This type of accompaniment is aimed at two audiences :
- Professional musicians
- Musicians in the process of professionalization (artists between the posture of actor in the process of professionalization and professional).
If you are in one of these two categories, our objective is to give you the tools to build your own learning process, on two programs : High Frequency and Low Frequency.
High Frequency
This program is intended for professional artists from the Grenoble area who already have a good experience and a real dynamic outside the department. Selected by the team at La Belle Électrique, Haute Fréquence groups benefit from a one-year personalized support program (renewable once), which provides them with support for their development as well as for the consolidation of their project. Residencies, coaching, programming, networking, training, and access to rehearsal space are just some of the advantages that artists can take advantage of, depending on their needs.
The artists : Adèle et Robin, Gwizdek, Koïï, Milena.
No call for applications at this time.
Adèle et Robin
Adèle & Robin are the new French Pop duo.
Aged 23 and 21, the two of them have carved out their own unique path in French Variété, between Vidéoclub, The Pirouettes and Thérapie-Taxi. With their simple, poetic lyrics and poignant, effective melodies, Adèle & Robin reveal a sensitive, tangy universe and a sunny, heady sound.©DR
Gwizdek
Gwizdek is a French alternative pop group formed in 2020 around Daniel Gwizdek, accompanied on stage and in the studio by Vadim Bernard, Quentin Faverger and Noé Trystram. Their soft, catchy pop follows in the footsteps of Balthazar and a poetic desire inspired by Feu! Chatterton. The themes are those of human encounters in their precise and precious nature, the need to travel, omnipresent technology, and a touch of time anxiety... all carried by a characteristically deep voice, imbued with great melancholy.

KOÏÏ
KOÏÏ is an invitation to transgress secrecy. Let us hear the confidences between her, a singer on the edge of her skin, and him, a beatmaker with a fluid touch. Buried desires, bruised hearts and dark thoughts... Feelings so deeply intimate that confessing them seems inconceivable, yet they will consume us from within for as long as we remain silent. In need of expression, KOÏÏ confides. States of mind that we'll hear, if we choose to listen... indiscreetly.
In a suave voyage of the senses, combining independence and complementarity, KOÏ plays on the fragile balance of the tension of opposites. Let's listen... no one will know.

Milena
Milena is a blend of melancholy pop-folk songs inspired by her Armenian roots, with a touch of funky rhythm à la Matthieu Chedid and bittersweet lyrics à la Francis Cabrel. What she likes to do is tell stories, evoking a whole range of feelings, carried by her sensual, gentle voice, backed by her folk guitar and surrounded by musicians adding a groovy touch. A first single in French was released in September 2022, to be followed by a second single in Armenian and a first EP.

Cocotte
Here's a quick introduction: at Cocotte, we like to have fun, we like good music, and we like cheese. We make sick music, and we're cool too. In fact, we're really good at what we do, and you should definitely check us out, because you'll see that we're really great. But what's Cocotte? Don't let us spoil the surprise, just type Cocotte Taxi on Youtube and you'll be amazed.
PS: don't forget to sit down beforehand, because frankly, wow!©DR
Cross-accompaniment with Les Abattoirs 💛
High Frequency Electro
This new scheme, created in partnership with the Resonance collective, L'Ampérage, Hadra and TDN, is aimed at artists producing electronic music in the Grenoble area. The aim of this personalized support program is to help artists develop and consolidate their projects by providing them with access to the Labo de la Belle's working tools (workshop-stage, MAO studio, rehearsal studio), advice, promotion and networking, assistance with structuring, training, coaching and professional meetings, as well as programming and residencies at La Belle or at one of the program's partners.
No call for applications at this time.
Mogan
Mogan is an artist whose musical universe is distinguished by a subtle marriage between gentleness and intensity. In his tracks, sensitive melodies with orchestral aspects take shape, always associated with rhythmic keys that stir the body. Native of Grenoble, Mogan honed his craft with the TDN collective (The DARE Night). His acclaimed releases on labels such as Happiness Therapy and Sampling As An Art testify to the richness and depth of his work, attracting the attention of major figures on the electronic scene.
Behind the decks, he explores the different facets of house music, while integrating jazz, breakbeat, hip-hop and electro influences. His mastery of dynamic variations and percussive cadence creates a spellbinding musical experience, where melody and rhythm combine to invite uninhibited, unrestrained dancing.

Anita Dongilli
Sensitive harmonies, crystalline vocals, aquatic sounds and intimate stories: Anita Dongilli crafts her songs like her violins, with authenticity and meticulousness.
Accompanied by her heart instrument and her machines, she is a solar, sensitive and endearing character on stage, enticing anyone who will listen to her to daydream.

Astroficus
Make way for the Afrobeat fusion trance of ASTROFICUS! 9 musicians, 9 universes to take you on a voyage of discovery, around their danceable influences, fused in the melting pot of Afrobeat! These fusions give birth to devastating rhythms and strong, committed messages, guaranteed to sweep away audiences from all horizons, whether novices or world music aficionados!
©DR
Dïa
Dïa is first and foremost a voice. Chiseled lyrics. Two guitars, a keyboard, a looper and an Iranian drum complete her set. Alone on stage, this native of Brittany, who moved to the Grenoble region in 2018, takes us on a journey between prose and poetry, with the warmth of her voice and the sometimes melodious, sometimes groovy lines of the guitar or piano. Her lyrics are steeped in the obliques of this slightly mad world, in its intimate crossings and its commitments.
©DR
Efrasis
Efrasis cut his teeth on the open-mic circuit before establishing himself on the regional scene as an irresistible breath of fresh air.
His second project, "Les choses de la vie", is a cleverly written rap that combines introspective lyrics and effective gimmicks. A perfect synthesis of his old-school hip-hop influences and contemporary rap, he stands out for his striking ease on stage.
A lover of words, Efrasis draws on his melancholy and personal history to paint a portrait of spirited youth, filled with anger and hope. His poetic, literary and sincere lyrics are at the heart of his artistic approach, and make him unique.
Efrasis follows in the footsteps of lyricists who rap uncompromisingly and play with the codes of their time.

Épicerie de nuit
The Épicerie de nuit project was created in September 2019 by a team of seasoned musicians from a variety of backgrounds (jazz, hip-hop, funk, classical). Despite the confinements, the project develops, matures and takes its definitive shape with the meeting of rapper Youri Chaltiel and singer Déborah Reboul. The course was set: to offer a meeting between hip-hop/rap culture and instrumental music, highlighting the personalities, histories and sensibilities of each member. The group delivered its first recordings and video clip in 2022, and after intensive composition work in early 2023, is preparing its first EP for autumn 2023.

Ezila
Ezila has an intense, airy voice, the kind that captivates us. A sensitive, fierce personality that draws its influences from modern electro-pop and tribal sounds. Moving from fragility to power, the musician tells her story in French lyrics where the wilderness is never far away. Her words, draped in melodies of subtle melancholy, plunge us into a shared intimacy, where we taste the delicious freedom to think, dance and be moved. Alongside her keyboardist and arranger Jérôme Laurent, and her drummer Mathieu Imbert, Ezila delivers a modern pop song inspired by today's magicians, such as Camille, Björk, Aurora and Clara Ysé. Whether she's using her voice, flute, drum or piano, Ezila speaks to the deepest part of us.

Faith in Agony
Faith in Agony's music is tinged with 90's references, facets both heavy and intimate, all bathed in an aura of pure, condensed energy. The band released a self-titled debut EP in 2016, followed by a second entitled Do Not Repeat in 2017, and managed to get noticed by opening for Ultra Vomit and Mörglbl. Since then, FIA has been roaming the roads in search of all the venues and festivals to christen along the way, multiplying encounters and memorable moments.
©DR
Gintsugi
Gintsugi's art-pop music wraps shadowy areas in light, exposing the beauty of our imperfections. Gintsugi finds her strength in vulnerability, exacerbating her emotional body on a narrow line between exposure and rupture.
A singer and multi-instrumentalist (piano, electronics, guitar, synth), Gintsugi composes and produces her music with a lo-f approach. She has collaborated with Victor Van Vugt (Nick Cave, Beth Orton), who produced her eponymous debut EP, and Yoad Nevo (SIA, AIR), who mixed the single Outside.
She releases her music in collaboration with Beautiful Losers Records and SONO music group. Her next album is due in September 2023.

Jose and
The wastemen
Jose, "a pillar of the French indie scene" according to Rolling Stone, doesn't give up.
You may have already seen or heard him with The Firecrackers, Bleu Tonnerre, or in his featurings with Lafayette, Nadj, and so many others. Back in post-covid trio form with his two compars Quentin (drummer, also in Gwizdek, Arabella, and Fav) and Mathias (bass, Hyde Park Corner, Hot Chibers, Stone Shelter...), he's still determined to raise the banner of Rock with lots of Roll.

La Fiancée Animale
La Fiancée Animale was hatched in the friendly nest of its three singer-songwriters. Nourished by their cross-fertilization of influences and artistic experiences, she comes out of the woodwork in 2019. She gathers her synths, guitar and drums and slips them into facetious, powerful electro loops. Voices and words resonate in real time and loop. Electrobiche song is born!
©DR
La Kombinaison
Djihaïz and Mélopé together form La Kombinaison, an Afro-Caribbean duo. A Kombination between the Comoros and Martinique, Africa and the Caribbean. A Kombination of styles, between dancehall, dril, afro, trap and the Creole, Comorian, French and English languages.
It's through this blend that the duo find their identity and originality. And to perfect this formula, they are accompanied by producer, musician and beatmaker Young Seph, both in the studio and on stage.

LMZG
A veritable tornado of energy, the band turns everything on its head, mixing modern electro sounds (house, drum'n'bass, dubstep) with a singer, a live brass section (saxophone, trumpet) and samples from the 20's in an eclectic show of overflowing creativity! The band is on the rise, with the last 2 albums each topping the million mark, and the band's Spotify profile now exceeding 7 million listens in total! In 2021, the band was broadcast into space on the Playlist of Thomas Pesquet, who is a fan of the band! They have already played at Musilac (Fr), Aluna Festival (Fr) Montreux Jazz Festival (Ch), Boomtown (Uk), Fusion Festival (All), Le Fil (Smac), Château Rouge (Smac), le 6MIC (Smac), Chipozik (Fr) , Cabaret frappé (Fr).

Maria Luma
MARIA LUMA is a gardener of sonic flowers, conveying the warmth of Brazilian music and the unbridled affection that characterizes it. In her garden, she sows sonic colors that vary between POP and her Afro-Brazilian roots, giving off a very feminine perfume.
©DR
Opus Crew
If wolves recognize each other, Opus Crew is the epitome of it. Formed in 2013, the horde first evolved as a collective before identifying and stabilizing as a group in its own right, with five MC's at the forefront (Nuji, Presi, Faust, Resca, Le Mo) and a DJ (Loud Mic) on the decks in the background.
Opus Crew is rap, biting and instinctive, with sharpened feathers expressing their relationships with the world in a music that is modern but undeniably rooted in the aesthetics and values of 90s hip hop. Opus has a rhyme that hits home, an intelligent and sensitive discourse hidden behind the apparent fangs. From sound to stage, the bitterness of their testimonies is as bitter as the hope they give us, such is the power of their message and energy.

Resto Basket
When you don't grow up in the capital, but in the provinces in early 2000, you improvise to make sense of boredom.
Not far from Grenoble, Resto Basket invented their style at the same time as they discovered that of their elders.
Punk rock became a matter of course, an ethic never to give in to the superfluous, a way of getting a message across, of pointing out the contradictions of an era gone astray.
From concert to concert, the project federates, grows, and nostalgic fans as well as neophytes find what they're looking for. This punk rock doesn't smell stale; on the contrary, it works towards inclusion and the social political urgency we're all facing.
