Joan Lenine
Joan Lenine is an artist, singer, songwriter, composer, writer, guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, and performer.
A song begins somewhere: a word, a sound, a note, a chord, and is then written, composed, arranged, played, sang, produced, mixed, mastered, and finished by the very same hands that began creating it.
She was born on February 17th, 2005, and has lived between the United Kingdom and Europe, primarily France and Italy. Music came early: she began studying music theory and composition at the age of four. Everything she writes begins on paper and pentagrams, handwritten, the way it should be.
She writes both lyrics and music, composes, arranges. She sings and plays electric guitars as well as acoustic, twelve-string guitars, lap steel, electric bass, piano, harpsichord, and synthesisers. Each piece is then recorded, produced, mixed, and mastered completed by her, maintaining a single line of thought from first idea to final form. Her work lives and moves between Rock & Roll, Soft Rock, Rock, Blues, Soul, Baroque Pop, without committing to any of them for long enough to become predictable.
She began publishing her works in her late teens, around the age of seventeen, alongside writing poetry and instrumental works, developing a catalogue that is as deliberate as it is restless. Earlier releases appeared under different names, including the single Intersections & Heavy Hearts (2024), the EP The Stardust Soul (2025) and its B-side, followed by Time Machine (2025) and the companion EP Look Out! Each project marks a different direction rather than a fixed one.
Her debut release as Joan Lenine, Rock ’N’ Roll Baby, Vol. 1 (2026), arrived on her twenty-first birthday, and is the first of a series that is already refusing to remain singular, with further volumes, B-sides, and related works in motion.
The themes she explores range from the personal to the observational, at times extending into social and political territory. Some pieces take the form of narrative, others of reflection, and a few prefer not to explain themselves at all.
Alongside her artistic work, she studies political science, which occasionally informs the questions, if not always the answers.
She’s young, but she’s deliberate. She’s playful, but she’s serious. She’s messy and precise in the same breath, and she’s already making music that feels like it’s coming from somewhere deeper than herself.
Joan Lenine makes music the way we breathe.
