Vii-Pii
About
Vii-Pii is the moniker of Vianney P., a talented and uberous song-writer and recording musician from France with a gift for multi-faceting.
His 25 years of experience span over a combination of collaborations, bands and solo projects.
In 2022, Vii-Pii released the seminal album by his former French Alternative Rock / Post Punk band Dead Go Fast. He is preparing new material for S/E/L/F, the trip-hop act he founded with Remky 20 years ago.
Genres
With over 250 songs and counting, his compositions cover a variety of genres in the realms of Alternative Rock (Indie, Progressive and Post Rock), New Wave (Dark Wave, Post Punk) and Electronica (Trip Hop, Electro Pop).
If you like Radiohead, The Cure and the Archive, and you wonder what they would sound like playing together, then give it a try. Vii-Pii sings with a distinctive baritone voice that draws comparisons to Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters, Depeche Mode’s Dave Graham and Sisters of Mercy’s Andrew Eldritch.
Style
Vii-Pii plays guitars and all other instruments on his solo projects, switching from acoustic to electronic music styles in a natural way. He produces lush arrangements of vintage synths, guitar pedals and drum machines. His lyrics touch upon themes ranging from political to personal.
Now based in Paris, France, he has a long experience of living in Asia and speaks Japanese fluently. Musician at night, he is a senior exec at day.
