Flore Benguigui

For centuries, girls have been struggling to get the recognition they deserve in the music industry, break with conventions and follow their own path. Lately, things seem to slowly evolve in people's minds but the figures are still frightening. That's why I'm very honored to take part in an organization that really wants things to change now and for good, offering real solutions to bring equal opportunities for all genders. As the only woman in a band of boys, I feel this urge to support all other women who are fighting every day to be part of this industry and to create, perform and evolve in a safer environment, and most of all be recognized, seen and heard for what they are really worth.

Flore Benguigui joined the band L'Impératrice in 2015 as a singer and songwriter. When she is not touring with the 5 other musicians, she sings jazz in Parisian clubs and launches in 2021 her podcast Cherchez la femme, about the unsung female musicians of history. 

Since the release of the 3rd EP, the group with disco-pop influences has experienced a meteoric rise and tackles current themes such as feminism or the omnipresence of social networks.  As a committed artist, Flore takes advantage of this visibility to share her testimony and denounce violence and discrimination against women in the music industry. With this aim in mind, Flore has multiplied her interventions and actions in favor of gender equality in recent years, notably by speaking in the media and participating in roundtables and working groups on the subject.
