Auteur, compositeur, arrangeur, réalisateur et chanteur, Corneille, de son vrai nom Cornelius Nyungura, est né en Allemagne d’un père tutsi et d’une mère hutue. Il a 7 ans quand sa famille retourne vivre au Rwanda. Adolescent, il amorce sa carrière musicale à Kigali, s’initie à l’écriture de textes et à la composition, et fonde un groupe de R&B. Son père mélomane lui offre sa première séance d’enregistrement en studio et sa formation remporte le concours « Découverte 1993 » de la télévision rwandaise. L’année qui suit sera marquée par l’indicible. Le 15 avril 1994, alors que le Rwanda est frappé par le génocide des Tutsi, la famille de Corneille est assassinée sous ses yeux. Seul survivant, il rejoint un camp de réfugiés au Zaïre, avant d’être recueilli par un couple d’amis de ses parents en Allemagne.
À 20 ans, il s’envole pour le Québec, afin de poursuivre ses études en communications. Il y fait la rencontre de Pierre Gage et Gardy Martin (alias Gardy Fury), et fonde O.N.E., son premier groupe. En 2001, malgré des débuts prometteurs, Corneille souhaite se lancer dans une carrière en solo et écrire sur le drame qu’il a vécu.
En 2002, l’album Parce qu’on vient de loin connaît un triomphe éclatant au Québec comme en France, où il paraît l’année suivante.
En 2016, Corneille publie son autobiographie, Là où le soleil disparaît (XO éditions Paris), un récit poignant où, pour la première fois, il revient sur le génocide rwandais et sur le miracle de sa survie.

Total plays for Corneille
The total plays count is calculated based on all the tracks listed in the "Most popular tracks" section. Spotify does not provide this data, and it is quite tricky to compute in some cases. You should consider this as an estimation, more than an exact value. The data is not real time, but we try to update it as often as possible.
