Volodia Discography of CDs

Volodia discography CENTRAL PARK is his first album as performer, but veteran French songwriter Francis Maggiulli has put words into other singers' mouths since the late 1980s. Eleven breakthrough tracks, including "Une Lumière En Moi," "Je Vole," and "Même Si," move him to center stage all by himself. The French songwriter steps into the spotlight on his own on this monumental debut CD. Having been in the business since 1988, he is a well seasoned writer, having written songs for Nolwenn ("Broken ", based on a text of Lionel Florence), Dani ("Toute Depend du Context"), Lauren Faure ("Regarde-moi"), and from the last album of Ishtar ("Truly"). Personnel: Francis Maggiulli (vocals, guitar, piano); Volodia, Veronica Antico (vocals); Kevin Mulligan (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, slide guitar); Sébastien Chouard (acoustic guitar, electric guitar). Audio Mixer: Volodia. Recording information: Studio 0; Studio de La Seine; Studio Ferber, Paris, France. Photographer: Pascal Sacleux. Arrangers: Francis Maggiulli; Volodia.
