Enter the World of Ysan Roche and a New Generation of Pop Music and Self Made Artists
Who is Ysan Roche?
Ysan Roche invented MFF which represents a new league of artists who write and produce their own music, design their own fashion and direct their own music videos.
In 2011, she launched a new genre of pop music called Black Yellow Pop which was inspired by her first album from 2008 called Brain Artificial Limb’ which was about an obsessive love story and the internal struggle of having both masculine and feminine selves within a feminine body. Ysan then directed her first music video ‘Lost in Land’ with Oak about an oversexualized woman who wanted to consume and possess her lovers.
Through Ysan’s music, fashion and overall identity, she expresses that life is about constant self transformation – that you can take control of your identity and destiny at any time you choose. She believes that people have a right to express themselves however they wish, and that just because you're born a certain way, doesn’t mean you can’t be whoever you want to be. You can always aim higher.
Her music has spread all over the internet, becoming popular in the US, Europe and all around the world. Fans and critics say she is pinned to be the next pop sensation.
The Evolution of Ysan Roche
1. Raised from Darkness to Light
Ysan was born in Romania but moved to Germany with her parents as a young child to escape the Caucasu regime during the late eighties. Growing up, she learnt to be independent from a very young age, and became fascinated with the darker aspects of life. She loved a thrilling story and anything that exposed the more perverse sides of humanity. She read everything from Stephen King to Oskar Wilde and her early icons became Marylin Manson, David Bowie , Madonna, Gwen Stefani, Sade and Bjork. Composing her first songs by the age of six, she learnt the piano and guitar and started her singing career in a gospel group. Although her childhood was mystical and exciting, it was also dangerous as she encountered Romanian gypsies, witches and controversial town secrets. This all build her first persona ‘the Dark Child’. From this point onwards, she went through various identity transformations, which ultimately led her to become the creative, adaptable female performer she is today.
2. Liberation of the Escapist
Linda Stones, her second persona, (based on the Rolling Stones and Linda Evangelista) was well known for her lavish looks and lifestyle. By 14, she was hanging out in house clubs and becoming addicted to electronic music. By 15, she was sent to boarding school and started experimenting with drugs to escape from her conventional lifestyle, which led to her uncover a more colorful and fantastical world. She became a model by the age of 12 and became financially independent.
3. The Parallel World
Yvan Roche, her third personality, smbolized a twist of House and Electro, wearing giant heels, long magenta coats and having excessive body piercings. Her world became more artificial as she started to compose songs with computer software, and found pleasure in creating her own artificial world with artificial rules.
4. Spiritual Deliverance
Y, the nameless fourth creation, quit drugs, moved to Berlin and searched for deeper spiritual meaning in her life. She needed to vent her inner thoughts and emotions and delved into painting, yoga, reiki, meditation, and acting. During this period, she developed a strong sense of independence and self-confidence that she had never felt before.
5. Intellectual Pleasure
Ingrid La Roche studied the philosophies of Nietzsche, Descartes, Socrates and Homer, as well as the biographies of people she admired like David Bowie, Mick Jagger, Madonna, Marilyn Monroe, Marilyn Manson, Tina Turner, Michael Jackson and Judy Garland. She studied drama and music in Berlin for four years while working as a model, background singer and taxi driver to pay the university fees. To become more independent, she founded her own model agency with a photographer in Berlin, which is still running successfully today.
6. Lady Longstockings
Quiogy de Vendo, who was inspired by Pippi Longstockings, Ysans favorite child figure, immersed herself heavily into acting and music, where she began to explore the little girl inside her that she never really explored as a child. She shocked people with edgy performances where she played lesbian women and murderous transvestites in drama classes.
7. Borderless Sexuality
Matsanary, inspired by Mata Hari, started designing couture fashion and was swept away by classical forms of art such as the opera, Barroque and theatre. She began to explore a borderless sexuality, dating both men and women and having polyamorous relationships. She grew to learn that people were individuals not defined by gender. After dating a transgender man, she realized the importance of having parts of both male and female genders entwined in your personality.
8. Metamorphosis
Ysan Roche was born from the metamorphosis of these personalities.
9. Insanity
Yn Sane Roche has now joined the party. Her cocktail of a personality is made up of one shot of darkness, one shot of beauty mixed with two shots of sexuality – served on the rocks.
