About Clotilde Rullaud

Born in 1978, Clotilde entered the Conservatoire at the age of five, where she studied music and played the flute for 13 years. Fascinated by the great jazz singers of the past (Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Shirley Horn, Jeanne Lee, Nat King Cole, George Benson and Chet Baker) she performed frequently as a singer, actress and flutist. At the tender age of 18, while studying at the ESCP business school, she wrote, directed and produced a musical set in the 1930s (Georgia), which was staged at the Bataclan in Paris. In 1999 she undertook a course of study in Vocal Jazz and Flute Jazz at the I.A.C.P school (Lionel Belmondo, Sarah Lazarus, Vivianne Ginapée). Clotilde developed a passion for other musical cultures, including gospel (with the Rital Song choir), blues, and gypsy music (classes in gypsy dance with Petzia Yurshenko). Clotilde has kept herself busy, performing as the narrator in a show for young people: Sur la route des Tziganes (Festival d’Avignon, Le Cap in Aulnay-sous-bois, XXème théâtre in Paris, Festival de Marne, Parc Floral in Vincennes, Cité de la Musique in Paris, etc.); she is also the singer/narrator of Monsieur Jazz, appearing alongside Sophie Alour, Jean-Baptiste Laya and Jean-Daniel Botta. In 2003 she formed her own jazz duo as a singer and composer, working with the guitarists Hugo Lippi, Jean-Philippe Bordier and Dano Haider, and more recently the pianist Olivier Hutman and the drummers John Betsch and Emmanuel Marée (Franc Pinot, Sept Lézards, Café Universel, Festival Les Couleurs du Jazz, etc.). Clotilde Rullaud is also a flutist in the Léonore quintet with Olivier Zano, Jean-Daniel Botta, Alexandre Saada and Laurent Séries, and has undertaken a range of recording work as a flutist, solo/chorus singer and voiceover artist. On the 11th of September 2006 she recorded her first self-produced album Live au 7 Lézards, the fruit of a year and a half’s collaboration with the guitarist Hugo Lippi.
