Italian-French singer-songwriter Carla Bruni has joined #NP, the Live Nation-backed management company established in December by ex-Universal Music France president Pascal Nègre.
Bruni (pictured) – a former first lady of France through her marriage to ex-president Nicolas Sarkozy – has released four studio albums since 2003, the most recent of which, 2013’s Little French Songs, reached no2 on the French albums chart. She last toured in 2014.
“Her lyrics and melodies have made Carla Bruni the most famous French singer in the world,” comments Nègre. “I thank her for choosing #NP and am very proud to work with her.”
