Early life
[eedit | eedit soorce]Camille wis born an raised in Paris, Fraunce. As a teenager she studiet ballet an developit an interest in bossa nova muisic an American stage muisicals.[1] She attendit the prestigious Lycée International de Saint Germain-en-Laye whaur she obtained her baccalaureate in leeteratur. Thanks tae her mither bein an Inglis teacher, she grew up learnin tae speak Inglis fluently. She performit her first oreeginal sang "Un Homme Déserté" at the age o saxteen while attendin a weddin.[1] In the early 2000s, while performin at jazz clubs in Paris, Camille made her actin début in the film Les Morsures de l'Aube (bi Antoine de Caunes; wi Asia Argento an Guillaume Canet). She contributit tae the sang "La Vie la Nuit" in its soondtrack.[1]
She attendit Paris Institute o Political Studies "Sciences Po" juist afore beginnin her muisic career.[2]

In 2005 she released the album Le Fil, which wis producit in collaboration wi Inglis producer MaJiKer. This album incorporatit an avant-garde concept – a string, or thread ("le fil"), which wis a drone that persistit throuoot the entire course o the album. Aw o the sangs in this album are based on the sploration o the vyce, wi anerlie a double bass, bass guitar, guitar, trombone, percussion or keybuird as accompanyin instruments. Le fil quickly became a gowd album. The sang "Pâle Septembre" seems tae be a reference tae the attacks on the Warld Tred Center o 11 September 2001. The lines "Mais qui est cet homme qui tombe de la tour? Mais qui est cet homme qui tombe des cieux? Mais qui est cet homme qui tombe amoureux?" (But who is this man fawin frae the touer? But who is this man fawin frae the skies? But who is this man fawin in love?) suggest guilt accompanyin luve in a time o mournin. The sang "Ta Douleur" wis votit 26t in Australie's Triple J Hottest 100, 2006.
In Juin 2007 Camille performit Benjamin Britten's A Ceremony of Carols an a new a cappella work God is sound (The 12 World Prayers) at L'église Saint-Eustache, Paris.

An aw in 2007, she contributit tae the soondtrack o Pixar's Ratatouille in the sang entitled "Le Festin". This style o muisic, which mey be termit "teepical Parigot street singing", is foond in the movie Porco Rosso in the sang "Le Temps des Cerises" an aw. Additionally, she provides the European French dub vyce o Collette in Ratatouille.
