1988

Héloïse Adélaïde Letissier (born 1 June 1988), known professionally as Christine and the Queens and Redcar, or occasionally simply Chris, is a French singer and songwriter.

Born and raised in Nantes, he started learning piano at the age of four and found inspiration in one of London's clubs while studying.

Héloïse Adélaïde Letissier was born on 1 June 1988 in Nantes and was assigned female at birth.

His father, Georges Letissier, taught English literature at the University of Nantes and specialises in Victorian era literature.

His mother, Martine Letissier, taught both French and Latin at a local middle school.

2010

Letissier gave his first recital as Christine and the Queens at a small Lyon club in 2010.

In 2010, Letissier had to leave the theater conservatory, as he was depressed after a romantic break-up.

He made a trip to London and was inspired by the work of local drag queen musicians, including Russella, at the Soho nightclub Madame Jojo's. The queens then became 'the Queens' in his stage name as a tribute.

As soon as he returned to France, he left the ENSL grande école in the middle of the second year to devote himself fully to the musical project now called "Christine and the Queens".

He dedicated many of his creations to them, and to all transgender individuals, describing his genre as "freakpop".

2011

Letissier released a series of extended plays (EPs) throughout 2011–2013.

He released his debut extended play, Miséricorde, in 2011, with Marc Lumbroso (Jean-Jacques Goldman's producer).

2012

Christine and the Queens has been signed to the independent record label Because Music since 2012.

His second EP, titled Mac Abbey, followed in 2012, with minor hits "Narcissus Is Back" and "Cripple".

The same year, he was the opening act for Lykke Li, the Dø, and Woodkid.

Letissier won the Best Discovered Act award, known as "Découverte", at the Printemps de Bourges music festival and also won the "Première Francos" award at the Les Francofolies de La Rochelle festival.

Then he signed with the independent label Because Music.

"Christine" is the French version of "Cripple" earlier released in 2012.

After the album reached number 2 on the French chart and was certified diamond there, Letissier toured France.

2013

In 2013, Letissier was the opening act for Lilly Wood and the Prick and Gaëtan Roussel.

On 3 June, he released the single, and also an EP of the same name, titled "Nuit 17 à 52", which garnered him his first charting on the official French SNEP albums chart.

The song was the first single of his forthcoming studio album.

Letissier began learning to play the piano at the age of four, learned classical dance at five, and then modern jazz.

His parents recommended to him writers such as Sarah Waters and Judith Butler, whose works served both as inspiration and reference in Letissier's youth.
