" La Chansonnette“
means the French Chanson singer
and that’s me!
My new concert program is paying tribute to the most iconic French songs by Edith Piaf. When I first saw the movie about the life of Edith at the age of 14, I was so touched by her voice and her life that I immediately started to learn the song „Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien“.
2 days later in School my French teacher had a karaoke CD and wanted us to sing some French songs together. There I saw the song I’ve just learned and said that I would like to try this one.
When I started to sing she had tears in her eyes and said to me: Melissa this is what you need to do…share your talent with the world! Well now…that’s what I’m doing now!
All started with „Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien“
Then I created a first musical where I played Edith Piaf in Avignon (France) where I lived for nearly 10 years.
