Diane Tell |
|---|
Diane Tell was born Diane Fortin in Quebec City on 24 December 1959. She first studied music (violin and classical guitar) at "conservatoire de musique du Québec" in Val d'Or and Montreal, than studied jazz guitar at "CEGEP St-Laurent" in Montreal. She started writing songs at the age of 12 and signed her first record deal at 18. She was probably the first french canadian singer song-writer to record exclusively her own songs. "Gilberto", her first hit song was a tribute to Joao Gilberto but it was "Si j'étais un homme" on her third album that made her a popular artist both in Canada and Europe. She moved to Paris in 1983 and now lives in Biarritz France.
Living in France gave her the opportunity to meet and work with some of the best lyricists in Paris. She wrote songs with Boris Bergman, Maryline Desbiolles, Maryse Wolinski, Yann Moix and Françoise Hardy. She also participated in 3 original musicals, 'La légende de Jimmy', 'Marilyn Montreuil' and recently 'Je m'voyais déjà'.
