Julien Pannetier, better known as VIQ, brings a refreshing direction to the electronic/indie music landscape. Born and raised in France, VIQ grew up with music, splitting his time between skateboarding and drawing inspiration from icons such as Mk.Gee, Lorn, and Radiohead. At the age of 15, VIQ adopted a melancholic and ethereal style, inspired by his daily life and emotions. VIQ's style draws from electronic music, hip-hop, indie rock, and dreampop.
VIQ began releasing music in 2019 and quickly developed his own style with tracks like Flamingo and Dune, leading him to join the California-based independent electronic label, Stratford.Ct, in 2020. It is with this label that he released three successful albums on vinyl and cassette: Waiting For The Dawn, Crystal Shores, and Last Path.
Additionally, he has been featured on numerous influential channels such as Lofi Girl, Electronic Gems, MrSuicideSheep, Odysseus, Asthenic, Indie Shuffle, Stereofox, NightrideFM, etc...
