La belle of France, Carla Bruni is a multi-faceted little creature with stunning features, immense talent and a large heart. The Italian-born former model/musician/philanthropist has sure made a name for herself in Europe. Not to mention, she is the former first lady of France. Wow.
Bruni dropped modeling in 1997 and began a career in music. Her debut album, Quelqu'un m'a dit, was released in 2002, winning her an EBBA award in 2004. A few of the songs were used in various films, most notably 500 Days of Summer, in which the title track is heard.
On that note, Bruni has been involved in many other charities and causes. She supports many different charitable foundations, is the world ambassador for the protection of mothers and children against HIV and performed at Nelson Mandela's 91st birthday along with Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin.
Bruni's most recent album, Little French Songs, was released in April of 2013.
The singer/songwriter's music is gentle and for the most part very quiet. She is greatly influenced by her idols, Joni Mitchell and Serge Gainsbourg. Her songs are characterized by guitar strumming and simple piano riffs, while the main attraction is her soft, whispery vocals.
