Fantine

Fluent in Russian, Spanish, English, and French, Fantine is a unique talent with a musical style that reflects her cultural diversity, and is described as a fusion of indie and electro soul. Fantine first came onto the Australian scene in 2010 as guest vocalist and co-writer with SPACE INVADAS (featuring KATALYST and Steve Spacek). 2011 saw FANTINE release several singles including Eleven, Perfect Strangers and Don't Come Around. To promote these releases Fantine headlined her first tour of Australia and New Zealand. Fantine kicked off 2012 by performing as support for Erykah Badu at the Sydney Opera House. Shortly after she joined Mayer Hawthorne and Daniel Merriweather as support for their respective Australian tours.

Fantine and Igor Butman started their fruitful collaboration in 2012! During last years Fantine performed with Igor’s Orchestra and Quartet throughout the world, hitting stages of the biggest festivals in France, Italy, Great Britain, India, US and Russia and drawing praise from the most respected jazz magazines, including Downbeat and Jazzwise. This April Fantine presented in Moscow a special program dedicated to Ella Fitzgerald's 100th anniversary with Moscow Jazz Orchestra!
