Early life

Brenner was born in Saint-Chartier, in central France, where her parents who were both musicians and refugees, were living. Her father, Ludwig Brenner, who was of Jewish-German descent was captured and deported during World War II.[1] He died in captivity in 1942 leaving her mother Jeanne alone to raise their children.[1]

When the family returned to Paris at the end of the war, her mother rejoined her orchestra and left her children in the care of their grandparents.

Aged 14, Brenner left school to join her mother's orchestra.

Music career

Brenner studied opera at the Conservatoire de Paris from the age of 20.[1] She sang in films, including Manon des Sources. She released several singles and EPs from the 1970s onward.
