Jeanne Cherhal

Affiliated with the new French scene of the 2000s, Jeanne Cherhal adorns her songs with a neo-realist universe that does not exclude sensitivity, and sometimes irony. Born in Nantes on February 28, 1978, she grew up in Erbray and studied philosophy, before devoting herself to a musical career. Solo at the piano or in the company of pop-rock musicians or even an orchestra, she recorded a first self-produced mini-album of six tracks, released in 2001 by Madame Suzie Productions, followed by a homonymous collection recorded live, released by the Tôt ou Tard label in 2002. In 2004, she flirted with success with "Le Petit voisin", taken from the album Douze Fois par An, which won her a trophy at the Victoires de la Musique awards. Building on this revelation, the following album L'Eau garnered public and critical acclaim in 2006, reaching number 9 in the sales charts. After making her theatrical debut in Les Monologues du vagin between two international tours, Jeanne Cherhal returned to song in 2010 with the album Charade, her first recording for the Barclay label, revealing new facets not devoid of humor. In 2014, she invited Emily Loizeau, Camille, Camille, Olivia Ruiz, La Grande Sophie and Rosemary Standley, from Moriarty, on her fifth album Histoire de J., followed in 2019 by L'An 40 (2019), recorded in Los Angeles with Sébastien Hoog. After the publication of her first book A cinq ans je suis devenue terre-à-terre in 2020, the singer who has been silent since the Covid-19 pandemic returns in 2025 with the album Jeanne.
