Jonathan Boudevin was born in 1987 in Alès, France. After a first and early contact to diverse musical lanscapes through the playing of the drums, he studied from 2005 to 2009 musicology at the university „François-Rabelais“ of Tours, France.
An Erasmus year at the university of Rostock, Germany, led him to discover the world of vocal music; he studied singing there from 2009 to 2015 and began in parallel to sing at the Theater Vorpommern in Stralsund and Greifswald, Germany, and became active as a singer and performer in the Berlin contemporary scene with ensembles such as Zafraan, United Berlin, Mosaik, Phönix 16, Opera Lab, etc.
He created the ensemble for Ancient Music „Due sopra il Basso“ in 2016, and the ensemble „Workers Union“, dedicated to the written music of the 21st century, in 2018.
He also writes music, obviously for his own ensemble – for which he wrote in 2018 the piece „Herzstück“ in collaboration with the german writer Christoph Hein, but for other ensembles as well. In 2021 began a collaboration with the Schloßplatztheater, Berlin, for which he already wrote two chamber operas. He is now working on a new one, to be premiered in November of this year.
He lives in Berlin and is working as a freelance singer, drummer, composer and educator.
