[1988-…], Nantes, Pays de la Loire, France

Héloïse Letissier, known by her stage name Christine and the Queens, is a French singer and songwriter.

Christine and the Queens’ work combines music, performance, art videos, drawings and photography.

When in London, she was inspired by the work of local drag queen musicians including Russella who accompanied her in one of her early concerts. They then became her “Queens” as a backing band. She dedicated many of her creations to them and to all transgender individuals, describing her genre as “freakpop”.

Christine adopted the name Christine and the Queens releasing her debut EP Miséricorde independently followed by another EP in 2012 called Mac Abbey with the minor hits « Narcissus is Back » and « Cripple ».

In 2012, Christine and the Queens was the opening act for Lykke Li, The Dø and Woodkid as well as for Lilly Wood and the Prick in 2013.

Her third release was an EP titled Nuit 17 à 52 which garnered her first charting on the official French Albums Chart SNEP with the help of its title track.

In 2012, Christine and the Queens won the Best Discovered Act known as Découverte du Printemps de Bourges and also the Adami Premières Francos 2012 award.

The single « Tilted », translated from « Christine », was released in February 2015 in the United States as an introduction to her first English EP Saint Claude. Edited by Neon Gold Records, the band toured North America with Marina and the Diamonds as promotion for the release. The song was released in the UK in 2016 and charted on the UK Singles Chart.

In 2018, Chris announced a new tour planned for autumn and a new album. Two versions of the first single were released: « Damn, Dis-Moi [French Version] » and « Girlfriend [English Version] » on 17 May 2018. The album, titled Chris, was released on 21 September 2018.

There are those fruitful encounters that can lead to great things. For Héloïse Létissier, leader of Christine and the Queens, it was the meeting with the drag queens of London that started it all. Claiming David Bowie as her inspiration, she has used crossover codes, in terms of dress to start with, often appearing in masculine clothing, and then artistic, by including music, dance and theatre in her shows. Numerous dancers, moving bodies and light shows form a backdrop to her electro-pop sound, whether delicate or heavy. A new breach has opened in French music…onwards, once more!
[Paléo 2015]

Whimsical and bright, Christine and the Queens creates an accessible and challenging world of “Freakpop”. Christine and the Queens impresses with her energy and her electronic pop sound.
True queen of the night, Christine and the Queens sails in regions of her own playing with her androgynous personality and her great voice … sublime and confusing.
