Tim Dup is a French singer and pianist. Citing Jacques Brel and Bob Dylan as his
role models, the 21-year-old released his first EP in 2016. Entitled Vers les
Ourses Polaires (Towards the Polar Bears ), it reveals intimate tales born of an
observation of daily life, notably his train journeys between the provinces and
the capital. It is a follow-up to "TER Centre", released four months earlier.
Immediately upon its release, the EP's title track received radio airplay and
ranked among the most downloaded tracks sold by the end of summer 2016.
