Genres and styles : Folk

Additional Information

Singer, rapper, and songwriter Thomas Thivierge-Gauthier, known as Mantisse, first made a name for himself as the lead vocalist of the rap trio LaF. In 2022, he released his debut solo album, Collin-Maillard, and in the spring of 2026, he returns with his second album, a full-length record titled Les fleurs préférées de ma mère, in which he trades beats and rap for acoustic guitar and soft, minimalist folk, creating an intimate and stripped-down work. Simon Gervais spoke with the artist for PAN M 360 to learn more about his creative process.
