Singrid Campion (born 27 July 1976) is a French entrepreneur and singer known for her involvement in the fairground industry and her musical career in Gypsy jazz.[1][2] As the daughter of fairground industrialist Marcel Campion, she manages attractions at the Jardin des Tuileries and the Foire du Trône in Paris.[3][4][5]

Early life and education

Singrid Campion was born on 27 July 1976 in a caravan located in the Jardin des Tuileries in Paris.[6] Her birth coincided with a heatwave while her father was hosting guests at the park's refreshment stand.[6] She is the granddaughter of a street circus performer.[6] Campion is a member of the French Traveller (gens du voyage) community.[3]

Campion received what she describes as a "fairground education," where learning occurred within the community rather than through traditional academic institutions.[6] This upbringing integrated business operations and music into daily life, with Gypsy jazz culture playing a central educational role.[6][7]

Career

Campion operates as an artisan fairground merchant ("artisan forain").[6] Her business activities include managing carousels and traveling attractions; a 2019 Mediapart investigation into her father's dealings described her and her brother Chriss as fairground operators running wooden-horse carousels, trampolines and souvenir kiosks.[8][9][10] She is an associate in SCI Forever and has launched a CBD product retail line.[11][12]

Musically, Campion performs in the jazz manouche style.[7] Her album Paris mi amor (2018) includes songs such as "Paris défile" and "Un pour tous, tous forains," addressing fairground themes.[13] She performed a "Paris Mi Amor" concert at L'Olympia on 13 April 2018, featuring her Johnny Hallyday tribute material.[14] She has also performed at the Cirque d'Hiver and other venues in Paris.[15][16][17]

In 2024, Campion created Gypsikids, a family music festival mixing Romani music with other styles, held on 5 June 2024 at the Wonderland open-air venue in Clichy in aid of the child-protection charity Innocence en Danger.[18]

Advocacy

Campion advocates for the fairground community.[19] She has publicly addressed municipal decisions affecting fairground sites in Paris, including removals at the Place de la Concorde and Champs-Élysées.[20] Her media appearances and songs reflect the cultural concerns of fairground workers.[21][22]
