..----- Rémie was born in the West Indies (Martinique island); she grew up and has always lived in France. After studying English, she went into a vocal Jazz school (Le Cim, Paris) because she wanted to express herself into the "freedom" (improvisation) that this music allowed.
-----It is after reading the book from novelist Patrick Chamoiseau “l’Esclave Vieil Homme et le Molosse†that she was brought to a new consciousness. The beautiful writing of this book, which is a poetic and shinning tale, showed and revealed her a particularly militant insight. Through this book and others, but also through poems and people she met, Rémie realised she had so much to learn about herself, her history and identity. Because of that, the need to create and express herself became stronger, so she started to sing and write again.
----- Singer, she is also working and worked as back-vocalist with other artists in gospel choirs (Gospel Lines, Ométis, Gospellissimo, Trynyty, Life Rejoice, Gospel Feel, Queen Ethémé Soul Sisters...) and with soul artists such as Joby Smith, Jésa, Djade, Jean-Paul Elysée The Cool Crooners... afro-soul such as Franck Beyong, The Ladies of Kerma... She also represente and sing the Jazz of 1930/1950 in musical "Le Grand Voyage de la Musique Noire" (the long trip of Black Music : Tableau 5 - Jazz 1920/1950 - http://laroutedugriot.fr/flash/laroutedugriot.html ).
----- Today, she also performs in private events with her selelction of standards in Rémie DESIR sings Jazzy Soul Pearls .
