magazine Rock News. She struck up friendships with Patti Smith and
Richard Hell when visiting New York in 1975, and both contributed
material to her first book, Desiderata. She and Esteban moved to New
York in 1977, meeting Michael Zilkha, with whom Esteban formed ZE
Records.With guitarist D.J. Barnes (Didier Esteban), Mercier Descloux
formed the performance art duo Rosa Yemen, and recorded an eponymous
mini-album for ZE Records in 1978. The following year, ZE released her
solo debut LP, Press Color. Self-taught as a guitarist, she expressed
herself as a minimalist within the no wave genre, concentrating on
single-note lines combined with wrong-note harmonies and funky
rhythms. While the record had poor sales, she toured in the USA and
Europe. Lizzy Mercier Descloux Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
