In 2005, she released an EP with six tracks, ‘Harpe celtique et chants du monde’. After she signed with the record label Keltia Musique, her first studio album was released in 2006. ‘SongBook’ 1 contained Breton, Welsh, and Irish songs. After this release, she began to go on tour. In 2006, she went to Australia, where she performed at a French festival organized by the Alliance fran?aise of Adelaide.

In 2009, she played the role of Anne of Brittany in the rock opera, ‘Anne de Bretagne’. Songwriter Alan Simon chose Cécile Corbel after having difficulty finding someone for the role.

After promotion ended for ‘SongBook vol. 2’, Cécile still had some promo albums left, so she sent them to people she admired.
