Biography

[edit | edit source]

Emma Shapplin was born Crystêle Madeleine Joliton[3] on 19 May 1974, in the Paris suburb of Savigny-le-Temple[4])

Vocal career

[edit | edit source]

When she was 18, singer Jean-Patrick Capdevielle convinced her to return to taking classical lessons so as to improve her singing technique. She discovered that although rock had given her more artistic freedom and hedonistic lifestyle than classical music, it was still not enough for her, so she decided to create her own style.[5] This became a combination of early opera, modern trance and pop music. Shapplin and Capdevielle subsequently worked together on her first release, Carmine Meo,[6] written by Capdevielle.
