PIERS FACCINI
BIO
Piers Faccini is an English singer-songwriter and painter, born in London on 28 April 1970. His music, often described as a nomadic, cross-cultural folk-blues, draws on the great Anglo-American songwriters of the 20th century as well as the ancestral music of the Mediterranean and West Africa.In the late 1980s he left England for Paris, where he attended classes at the École des Beaux-Arts and spent most of his time painting and playing guitar. There he met cellist Vincent Ségal, who would become a close friend and longtime collaborator. Since 2004, he has lived in the Cévennes in the south of France, where he runs Beating Drum Records with his wife. Founded in 2013, the label is conceived like a small organic farm, focusing on carefully crafted limited editions and direct sales.A visual artist since the early 1990s, he designs his own album covers and creates many of his music videos using cut paper, watercolour and charcoal. He has also composed music for film and television in both the UK and France.Over the years, Piers Faccini has released nine studio albums, several compilations and a number of books. Along the way, he has toured with Ben Harper and collaborated with artists such as Vincent Ségal, Ibrahim Maalouf, Patrick Watson and Dawn Landes. In 2025, two decades after their first collaboration, he reunited with Malian kora virtuoso Ballaké Sissoko for Our Calling, a duo album inspired by the migration of nightingales across continents. Recorded in just five days, its ten songs weave together kora, guitar and voice, with guest appearances from Vincent Ségal, Badjé Tounkara on n’goni and Malik Ziad on guembri.Piers Faccini has announced a new solo album for 2027.
