Marin Tézenas du Montcel aka JUDY BLOOM

A dual career:

Alongside a double degree in Political Science and History, and a diploma in Journalism from CELSA, I've always tried to specialise my writing in culture and to cover current events in the music industry. As well as writing about music culture for the web medium L'ADN in Paris, I joined the culture/music department of La Provence in Marseille to interview musicians on tour in the region, or the names on the Marseilles scene. For AF, I try to draw up portraits of major figures in the music world, who may or may not be well known to the general public.

As well as journalism, I'm promoting a solo English indie rock project under the name ‘Judy Bloom’. Self-taught, I play drums, guitar, bass and piano, sing and produce all my own material. I have previously worked with a number of artists as a beatmaker. My most notable collaboration is with the rapper Smeels, or my soundtrack on the short film Autoportrait with Milo Machado Graner (Anatomie d'une chute), which won the Alice Guy prize at the Nikon Festival 2024. This year I released my first EP, BENCH WARMER, on all platforms.
