Yann Tiersen

Singer/songwriter Yann Tiersen was born in the region of Brittany, in northwestern France, on June 23, 1970. Having already achieved public recognition, he soared to stardom when he penned the soundtrack of the 2001 movie Amelie. Yann Tiersen spent much of his childhood at a college of music and dance where he learned to play piano and violin between the ages of 6 and 14. He was so musically-inclined that he decided he wanted to learn to become a conductor. Then, he evolved, during his teenage years, into the realm of composition. At this time, he became a fan of rock and pop and began a career writing music for various short films. He also played gigs and tours, featuring alongside various other artists. The French musical and artistic landscape would not look the same without the input of Yann Tiersen. His biggest successes include Amelie’s Waltz, (La valse d'AmĂ©lie), Comptine d’un autre Ă©tĂ© (which translates as Another Summer’s Nursery Rhyme) both soundtracks on the film AmĂ©lie (The Fabulous Destiny of AmĂ©lie Poulain) and First Rendez-vous and Summer 78 from the film Goodbye Lenin!
