Biography

Click to zoom the imageAt the beginning trinity compound of Patrick at the guitar, Fabrice at the keyboard and Virginia as the voice, the genesis of Kells goes back to 2001.

Their various influences and musical experiments form a particular sound combining, metal, electro, and classical music, and in spring 2004, Kells flashes in the eye of an independent producer (AVFP Production) who decides to produce their first album “Gaia” (released in winter 2006).
