Rosemary Standley is a Franco-American singer, born in Paris on July 27, 1979. Best known for her work with her celebrated group Moriarty since 1999, Standley is a singer with eclectic tastes and style. Standley leads several projects in parallel. She sings in several musical shows and records albums with The Lightnin 3, Dom La Nena and the Helstroffer ensemble.

Though she tours all over the world with Moriarty, far from submitting to the monomaniac demands of a busy career as their lead vocalist, for the past ten years she has been constantly exploring new lines of research, to vary the pleasure she takes in music: sometimes reaching out to engage with the genre of musical theatre (e.g. in Laurence Equilbey’s Private Domain, and A Queen of Hearts directed by Juliette Deschamps), or breaking away entirely to find appealing new musical vistas – such as in the Lightning 3, with Brisa Roché and Ndidi Onukwulu, or her work with the Wati Watia Zorey Band, a tribute group that Rosemary co-founded with Marjolaine Karlin in homage to Alain Péters, the poet and musician from La Réunion. In 2015, she devised and recorded the project love i obey with Bruno
