A promising young jazz singer, Camille Bertault was born in Paris, she began studying at the Paris Conservatory when she was 8, studied classical piano, composition and opera at the Conservatory in Nice, and was briefly involved in theater before deciding to dedicate herself to jazz singing when she was 25.

Most influenced by instrumentalists, she has often written French lyrics to jazz solos along with composing originals in the jazz tradition.

Ms. Bertault began making videos on Facebook a few years ago and has become a bit of a sensation in France; her first album to be released in the U.S. is En Vie on the Sunnyside label.

On her LiveStream from May 10, 2020, she performs several originals plus a heartfelt version of “Black Coffee,” “Footprints,” and a Jobim tune while accompanied by a fine pianist; this performance serves as an excellent introduction to Camille Bertault.
