Corinne Letellier was 17 years old in Lille, France  when she learnt to play drums and set up her first female band.
Since then she became the singer and leader of such ambitious musical projects as “Youkounkoun”, a young soul latino orchestra with her own texts, “les belles agogo”, a polyphonic and polyrhythmic girl’s band which performed in France and in Europe for concerts and as opening band for performers such as Natacha Atlas, Afro Cuban All Stars, l’Orchestre National de Barbès, Arno... In the same period, she discovered a passion for Jazz songs and performed  in a trio with Stéphane Bularz on bass and Stéphan Orins on piano.
Performing in Tunisia, she met a young saxophonist Lisa Cat-Berro and returned home, joining of the trio in the quintet with Eric Navet on drums.
After  singing Jazz in France on stage in concerts and festivals , Corinne Letellier is now asserting her own style at the Tanjazz Festival in Morrocco, performing for the first time one of her songs “Tanja”,  the story of a girl who feels lost  in  Tanger.
This song has captured media attention, audiences as well as critics have been both very enthusiastic.  This  made her decide to continue in that direction.
Living in Marseille since 2003, she’s written new songs and has met young talented musicians.
The spectacle " French songs in Jazzy colors and elsewhere " takes shape and meets it’s audience for the first time at the Jean Sénac Theater.
She has recently  recorded  “le calice” in Skopje (Macédonia) under Olivier Samouillan’s (Zlust, Mina Agossi)artistic direction, an original “French songs” repertoire, mostly written and composed by herself, about life’s stories drawn as  pictures made of different colors  from Jazz, to Oriental and Latin music, that she sings with a particular emotion.
Coming from both the Jazz and  pop scenes, the  musicians create an acoustic atmosphere to give the songs a real poetic dimension.
