French singer, harpist, and composer renowned for her ethereal Celtic-inspired music and evocative film scores.Born in Brittany, France, Corbel initially studied archaeology but discovered her passion for the Celtic harp during a trip to Ireland. Self-taught on the instrument, she began composing and singing in multiple languages (French, English, Breton, Italian, Japanese). Her international breakthrough came when she composed the soundtrack for Studio Ghibli's film 'The Secret World of Arrietty' (2010). She has released numerous albums blending traditional Celtic folk with contemporary influences.

• Her selection for 'Arrietty' was unexpected; Studio Ghibli discovered her music online and chose her over established Japanese composers, marking a rare instance of a non-Japanese artist scoring a Ghibli film.
• She actively promotes Breton culture and language through her music, incorporating traditional Breton themes and lyrics.
• Corbel's music often features fantastical and nature-inspired themes, reflecting her deep connection to Celtic mythology and folklore.
