Biography | |||||||||||
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.
