French singer/songwriter Alexis HK (born Alexis Djoshkounian in 1974) started his musical career as a lyricist but began recording his own material in 1997. Having worked with jazz musicians, he ranked among the early-2000s most subtle and interesting radio-friendly artists, and released three albums between 1997 and 2004 (Anti-Héros Notoire, Belle Ville, and L'Homme du Moment), followed by a 2005 live recording (C'que T'es Belle, titled after his first single). After a 2008 tour alongside Renan Luce, a new LP was scheduled for 2009.
