Christiane VALLEJO was born on 7 May in Sainte-Marie, Martinique. From an early age, she was drawn to music, and it was only natural that she should join her parish choir at the age of fifteen. She soon found herself a soloist, her mezzo-soprano being much appreciated.
Her career as a singer took off after she met Ronald TULLE and went on to meet many Afro-Caribbean artists. She met Eric VIRG, with whom she did her first tour of the island, in Guadeloupe and Haiti. She went on to study at the CIM jazz school in Paris, where she also played with a biguine jazz group and the Christiane Vallejo Quartet, which she founded at the school. For the first year, she took part in the Chant des Sirènes alongside Emeline MICHEL, Tanya SAINT-VAL and Céline FLERIAG.
