Sheila, born Annie Chancel on August 16, 1945, is a French pop singer who has been captivating audiences since the early 1960s. She began her career at a young age, quickly becoming one of France’s most beloved yé-yé icons—a movement defined by catchy melodies and youthful exuberance.

In addition to her studio successes, Sheila's live performances continue to be a central aspect of her career, captivating fans with her charisma and lasting talent, as evidenced in "Live à Bruxelles, 2022."
