Anne Carrere made her musical theatre debut as the star of ‘PIAF! The Show’. A native of South of France, Carrere began preparing for a stage career in her early teens, studying voice, acting, and a variety of vocal and dance styles at the renowned art school, Salon-de-Provence. Before seriously pursuing her passion for the traditional French chanson, Anne participated in numerous French talent competitions and TV shows, showcasing her singing and dancing skills in multiple styles including classical, jazz and modern jazz.
