I feel like hell but I look okay. » Ideally, one should be able to stop at this impeccable confession, slipped into the heart of the shattering Tigers, to paint the portrait of Troy Von Balthazar.


Because, indeed, Troy Von Balthazar looks okay. He’s handsome. He grew up in Hawaii. He surfed there for a long time. In the 90’s, he was the leader of a loud and abrasive band, Chokebore, becoming cult the day Kurt Cobain picked them to open for Nirvana. He also lived with Leonard Cohen – his only admitted admiration – who took him in for a while and on whose guitar he composed his first solo songs. His album came out in 2005 aptly named “Troy Von Balthazar” and was noticed by the critics and the European public. That’s because this man is keen on weaving enchanting pop songs.
