Fabienne Shine is a French model, actress and musician, born in Tunisia, North Africa in 1944 and raised in Paris at early age. She started writing songs at early age and compose her own music. She went travelling the world with her guitare and met the Band Led Zeppelin who liked her songs. Jimmy Page got involved romantically with her. Robert Plant and Page often jammed with her and finally suggested her to create a band. After touring the US with Led Zeppelin she went back to Europe and met at a concert in Paris a young guitarist Eric Levi. They decided to start a band in 1976: Shakin'Street (first named Speedball). Marc Zermati was their manager and invited them to play at his Festival of Mont de Marsan. They got exposed to the press and signed a contract with CBS France and Columbia Records USA. The band had gathered musicians like Louis Bertignac (lead guitar) and Corinne Marienneau (bass guitar), who would later join the French rock band, Téléphone. In 1978 they signed with CBS France and recorded their first album: Vampire Rock, and a year later, in 1979, they recorded their second album Solid As A Rock in New-York and San Francisco with Columbia record producer Sandy Pearlman, known for creating the band Blue Oyster Cult. Ross Friedman, aka Ross the Boss, guitarist from New York (ex The Dictators) joined to become the lead-guitarist of Shakin'Street.

She released her autobiography in 2014, co-written with French rock critic, Jean-Eric Perrin, "Sexe, Drogues & Rock'n'roll".[1]
