Christophe spent most of his life in Deuil-la-Barre (Val-d'Oise), where his parents run a driving school. As a child, he learned figure skating and to play the piano. Later he learned to sing as part of a gospel choir "Young Voices". He also was composing songs at the age of fourteen.
Before deciding to study to become an economics and management professor, he continued to practice music and in 2004 he appeared in a Richard Anconina film, Alive, where he played the role of Henri, a young man with a golden voice who is, nevertheless, not considered suitable for the lead role in a musical. Since his film career did not continue after this, he returned to university, where he studied communication while working a number of part-time jobs, such as babysitting and helping in a theater.
Pushed by his family and friends, he decided to try out for the 2006 edition of Nouvelle Star. With an initial audition performance of Strong Enough by Des'ree, he surprised the judges, who did not expect such a quality voice from an admittedly ungainly-looking man. Nicknamed "La Tortue" (The Turtle) by Nouvelle Star judge Marianne James, he proved to be a popular contestant, and on June 8th, was crowned the fourth Nouvelle Star.
He has stated that he would like to record a duet on his debut album with second-place finalist Dominique Michalon.[citation needed]
He joined artists such as Tears for Fears, Lara Fabian, and Murray Head on the Night of the Proms tour 2007.
His debut album "Inventaire" was released on April 16th, 2007, while the first single, "Elu Produit De L'annee" premiered in March. the album "Inventaire" debuted at #1 on the french charts and has already sold more than 363 000 (double platinum)

Demain
Christophe Willem Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tu aimes celui que je ne suis pas.
Tout n'est qu'un jeu, qui vient qui va.
Et qui s'arrête, à chaque fois.
Entre nous on aura essayé.
Je te jure pourtant, que j'y croyais.
Ils étaient si beaux, nos baisers.
Oh, je les regretterais !
Mais Demain ! Demain je recommencerais.
Demain, comme si de rien n'était.
Mais Demain ! Demain, comme pour la première fois,
j'irais brûler dans d'autres bras. Ah !
Je me souviens du premier matin.
Du feu sacré, que rien n'éteint.
Aujourd'hui l'orage vient sonner,
le glas de nos plus beaux baisers.
Après tout, puisqu'il faut s'en aller.
Un mot avant de s'égarer.
J'aimerais un tout dernier baiser.
OH ! Je les regretterais !
Mais Demain ! Demain je recommencerais.
Demain, comme si de rien n'était.
Mais Demain ! Demain, comme pour la première fois,
J'irais trembler sous d'autres doigts. Ah !
Ah, AH ! Ah
Mon amour, j'oublierais.
Nos promesses, j'oublierais.
Nos lèvres toujours fatiguées,
de s'être peut être trop aimé.
Mon amour j'oublierais le soleil qui brillait
Au creux de tes reins.
J'oublierais les mots que tu disais tout bas
J'oublierais tout et même plus que ca !
Car Demain ! Demain, je recommencerais.
Demain, comme si de rien n'était.
Mais demain, demain comme pour la première fois,
j'irais brûler sous d'autres doigts. Ah !
The lyrics of Christophe Willem's "Demain" express the pain and frustration of a relationship that has lost its way. The singer's lover does not love him well, instead choosing to love someone he is not. Everything is just a game that comes and goes, and each time it stops, leaving the two of them to try again. The singer acknowledges that they have tried, but despite his belief in them, their beautiful kisses are now just a memory. However, the singer is determined to move on and start anew, even if it means burning in someone else's arms. He reminisces about their first morning together, the excitement of their love, and the storm that now signals the end, tolling the bell of their most passionate kisses. As they must part ways, the singer longs for one last kiss, knowing he will miss them so.
The chorus repeats the singer's motivation to rebuild and forget. He will reset tomorrow and act as if nothing had happened. He will burn under new hands and tremble at the touch of someone else. He has made the decision to leave everything behind, to forget their promises, to let go of their tired lips, and even to forget the secret words whispered in bed. He will start anew with no attachments, hoping to free himself of the pain of their past.
