Singer-songwriter and lifelong Francophile, April March is best known for re-introducing the international audience to the French pop heritage with her renditions of songs from Gainsbourg, Françoise Hardy, Chantal Kelly, Dani, and Gillian Hills, among others. Her song “Chick Habit” drew the attention of director Quentin Tarantino, who featured it in the soundtrack of his 2007 film Death Proof.

March collaborated with French musician, composer, and producer Bertrand Burgalat on two albums, the first of which was chosen as one of the top ten albums of the year by The New Yorker and as one of the top 100 albums of all time by the seminal French magazine Rock et Folk. She has also recorded with many other renowned artists including Brian Wilson, Jonathan Richman, Ronnie Spector, Andy Paley, Yo La Tengo, LL Cool J, Los Cincos, and Steve Hanft. March recently finished a new album with the French rock group Aquaserge.
