Vivien Lalu is a French musician, keyboardist, composer, songwriter, and record producer from Paris, France. He started doing music at an early age, all thanks to his parents—Noëlle, who was a keyboardist, and Michel Lalu, who was a guitarist of the French progressive band Polène in the 70s. Vivien’s music was fostered by this musical background, and for a brief period, he took lessons from Emmanuel David, who had studied under the great jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk. Vivien has made sure that he has released music every year since 1997 in different bands and groups, which have positively impacted the progressive rock and metal music categories.

Vivien has been recognized and has received several awards for his work and creativity. For example, he was crowned the “Album of the Month” by Rock Hard Magazine and was mentioned in Roadrunner Records’ Top Ten Albums of 2013 by Jordan Rudess of Dream Theater. The first movie score that Vivien composed was for the 2008 Warner Bros. production of Seuls Two, a French comedy directed by Éric & Ramzy. This marked the beginning of other great opportunities in soundtracks, including the Science X TV show for Igor & Grichka Bogdanoff in collaboration with Lucasfilm Ltd.

Vivien has also worked extensively on music for film and television, developing several soundtracks for French television and providing music and sound effects for Ubisoft and Neko Entertainment games on Nintendo DS, 3DS, and Wii U platforms. Roland keyboards are endorsed by Vivien, who has worked on more than twenty albums for famous labels such as Frontiers, Universal, Sony, InsideOut, Metal Blade, and AFM Records as either a composer or a keyboardist.
