Artist History Currently based out of California, underground electronica duo Cherry Bikini are Sophie Boscallini and Armand Abagliani. Sophie was born in a small mountain village near the French-Italian border, and grew up all over Europe. At the age of fourteen she was discovered by a talent scout, and left home to pursue a modeling career in Milan, then Paris. At the age of seventeen she switched gears to train as an actress, eventually developing a passion for singing while working in a musical theater in Buenos Aires, Argentina. When she returned to Paris, she met Armand Abagliani (aka. Armand Van Halen/ Armand Van Nuys). Juggling careers as a cab driver, bouncer, and professional dancer, Armand has always found time to write great songs. He started off playing in blues bars in his native Louisiana, then in piano bars in Lausanne, Switzerland, before settling in Paris for several years. Cherry Bikini's music is catchy, raw, and fun. Recorded mostly in Armand's apartment in Paris, the songs are edgy, walking a fine line between confidence and desperation - very different from much of what's out there. The duo recently released their debut CD on a label they co-manage called Clear Blue Records.
