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)

Fragile
Christophe Willem Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Etre un héros , voler dans lesplumes,
Défier d'un regard...
J'ai le chapeau, j'ai lecostume,
Après ca je m'égare.
Toutdoux comme unhomme,
Bourru comme un saule en somme...

J'ai tout fait pour me croire plusfort que fort,

J'ai 200 fois perdu le nord.
Faceà la viemoncorps se défile,
Je me sensfragile...

Etre un héros, plonger dans la brume,
Défier le hasard...
Coup d'épéedans l'eau, si je résume,
Je me revele soir.
Moi j'ai l'air d'un homme,

Bourru comme un saule en somme.

J'ai tout fait pour me croire plus fort que fort,
J'ai tant de fois perdu le nord.
Et face à la vie mon coeur se défile,
Je me sens fragile... fragile... fragile... fragile...

J'ai tout fait pour me croire plus fort que fort,
Mais j'ai tout fait comme l'on fait le mort.

Et tant pis si lorsque ma vie défile,
Je me sens fragile...

J'ai tout fait pour me croire plus fort que fort.
Mais e me tue à faire le mort.

Et tant mieux si lorsque ma vie défile,
Je me sens fragile...

Être un héros
Voler dans les plumes défier d'un regard
J'ai le chapeau, j'ai le costume
Après ça je m'égare

Debout comme un homme
Peureux comme un saule en somme
J'ai tout fait pour me croire plus fort que fort

J'ai deux cents fois perdus le Nord
Face à la vie mon cœur se défile
Je me sens fragile

Être un héros
Plonger dans la brume, défier le hasard
Coup d'épée dans l'eau si je résume je me rêve le soir
Moi j'ai l'air d'un homme peureux comme un saule en somme

J'ai tout fait pour me croire plus fort que fort
J'ai tant de fois perdu le Nord
Et face à la vie mon cœur se défile
Je me sens fragile

Fragile, fragile, fragile

J'ai tout fait pour me croire plus fort que fort
Mais j'ai tout fait comme l'on fait le mort
Et tant pis si lorsque ma vie défile je me sens fragile

J'ai tout fait pour me croire plus fort que fort
Mais je me tue à faire le mort
Et tant mieux si lorsque ma vie défile je me sens fragile
