Raymonde Gaunoux
Danish-French-American artist Raymonde Gaunoux delivers powerful, vulnerable and queer songs carried forth with faith and love. Through heartfelt vocals and a sympathetic and embracing personality, he fills the room with touching, authentic and abundant music that will, inevitably, find its way to your heart and leave you with an experience you didn’t know you were missing. The creative compositions and picturesque lyrics lean towards the sound of Prince ballads, David Bowie ’quirkiness’ and melodic North American indie folk rock.
Raymonde Gaunoux is an advocate for promoting queer and trans visibility in the music industry, which was featured in the August 2021 issue of GAFFA. In the summer of 2022, the musician started collaborating with Queer Music Agency and has since performed on the main stage at Copenhagen Pride 2022, VEGA, and RUST, among others. Raymonde released the EP ‘Transitions’ on May 22, 2024.
Before launching his solo project, Raymonde Gaunoux was one half of the electro pop duo Feel Freeze, signed with Swedish label Icons Creating Evil Art. The music has been played on English and Danish radio, BBC, P6 and P3 and received praise from ‘The Line of Best Fit’, ‘Circuit Sweet, ‘CLASH Magazine’, ‘GAFFA’, ‘JaJaJa Music’ og ‘Wussymag’. The debut album ‘Feathers & Scars’ led to a major interview with DR.dk, a sync deal with HBO series “All American” and a support concert for Anne Linnet at CPH Pride in 2018, because of lgbtqia+ themes on the album.
Through his career, Raymonde Gaunoux has toured Scandinavia, the U.S., several parts of Europe, and did a double tour in Southeast Asia in 2014 together with Lydmor.
