Vivien Lalu is a French musician, keyboardist, composer, and producer based in Paris.

Born into a musical family—his mother Noëlle played keyboards and his father Michel was the guitarist for the 70s French progressive band Polène—Vivien was immersed in music early on. He briefly studied under Emmanuel David, a student of jazz legend Thelonious Monk.

Since 1997, Vivien has consistently released music with different bands and projects, mainly in the progressive rock and metal scenes. His work has been highlighted over the years, including an “Album of the Month” nod from Rock Hard Magazine and a mention in Roadrunner Records’ Top Ten Albums of 2013 by Jordan Rudess of Dream Theater.

Vivien's first experience scoring for film came in 2008 with the Warner Bros. comedy Seuls Two, directed by Éric & Ramzy. Since then, he has contributed to various TV soundtracks, including the show Science X for Igor & Grichka Bogdanoff in collaboration with Lucasfilm Ltd.

Beyond albums and live shows, Vivien has worked on music and sound effects for Ubisoft and Neko Entertainment games for platforms like the Nintendo DS, 3DS, and Wii U. He is also connected to Roland keyboards and has been involved in over twenty albums as a keyboardist, composer, or producer, across labels such as Frontiers, Universal, Sony, InsideOut, Metal Blade, and AFM Records.

Whether writing, producing, or performing, Vivien keeps his focus on the music itself—without losing sight of his roots in progressive rock.
