Erwan MELLEC

Playing the accordion is both my job and my passion, and I'm lucky to share my music all around the world.
I'm passionate about music, and I truly believe the accordion is an incredible and thoroughly modern instrument. I'm not exactly your typical accordionist — I love playing my own way. I play jazz, gospel, hip-hop, and many other styles ^^ And... yeah, every day, I'm looking for new ways to create.

I'm Erwan Mellec. Musician and sound designer.

I've always seen music as a natural and obvious means of expression. Here, I’ve gathered my favorite colors to paint a beautiful musical picture — I truly hope you’ll enjoy it.

On this project, I created the music I'd love to hear played on an accordion — mixing everything I love: Jazz, Gospel, Blues, and Hip Hop. By the way, I imagined, composed, and crafted all of this from my room, because music is still the best way to travel: feet on the ground but head in the clouds.

    Boa - EP "session"

    ✨At the heart of jazz, bordering on musette waltz, with a groove tinged with gospel…

    This trio is about timbres, textures, and interplay between accordion and Hammond organ — kindred tones, bridging folk traditions and modern pulse. A music that's free, generous and deeply alive: nine tracks like a meeting, a shared breath, a bridge between tradition and modernity.



    Featuring:
    👉 Erwan Mellec – Accordion
    👉 Jean-patrick Cosset – Hammond Organ
    👉 Gabor Turi – Drums

    Swing of France is the irresistible counter-attack of jazz musette!

    Swing of France

    Swing of France is the irresistible counter-attack of jazz musette!

    Driven by three bold albums, the band sweeps away clichés and propels this typically French genre into the 21st century with flair. Not gypsy swing, nor American jazz — but a free, dancing, refined and deeply modern jazz musette.

    De Paris à Shanghai, de New York à Minsk, leur musique a fait le tour du monde et s’est même invitée dans les classements iTunes aux USA, au Japon ou en Allemagne. Between popular spirit, virtuosity and harmonic richness, Swing of France brings new glory to a genre too often forgotten — with fierce energy and a unique sonic identity.

    Online Lessons reprennent !

    🎉 Online Lessons reviennent bientôt sur Patreon ! 🎹

    Playing accordion is more than just a job — it’s a playground, a sonic lab, a way to breathe.

    After many stages and projects, I’m excited to soon resume online lessons on Patreon and share this passion with you — in my own way. A free accordion, curious, sometimes jazzy, sometimes gospel, sometimes a little wild — but always sincere.

    J’ai envie de vous transmettre non seulement des techniques, mais aussi une vision : celle d’un instrument résolument moderne, vivant, et ouvert à tous les styles. 🎶
