Pédurand grew up in Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe. As a child he was enamoured with American gospel and Guadeloupean gwo-ka music. At the age of 17, he made his début on National TV as a contestant on the show StarDom, broadcast on the channel RFO. After a disappointing defeat, Érik moved to Paris to study languages. He immersed himself in Spanish and English undergraduate studies and spent his time alternating between the classroom and the stage.
The artist’s first album “Chayé Kow” was released in 2009 under the label AWI Music. As the singles “Si ou pa la” and “On bel jouné” enjoyed significant radio play and TV rotation, the artist started to attract the attention of the industry. In 2009, Pédurand won the award for Best New Artist at the Afro-Caribbean Art Awards Ceremony in Paris (Trophées des arts afro-caribéens). In 2010 he finished the year with the best-selling album in the French West Indies. After a sold-out show at the prestigious Parisian venue La Cigale, Pédurand embarked on a whirlwind tour with the legendary group Kassav, world-renowned pioneers of Zouk. He performed for audiences throughout Europe, North America, and the Caribbean.
Today, mature beyond his years, the 27-year-old is now a man with a clear-eyed vision and purpose. His second album “Ecole Créole” is the culmination of two years of collaboration with a tightly-knit group of musicians. It is a collection of stories that address the themes of love, temptation, and identity with careful sensitivity. Undoubtedly there are certain stories that come from personal experience … he’s content to not say much, and let the music speak for itself.
