Her parents divorced when she was just 2 years old and she moved to Paris with her mother and brother, while her father left for the United States.[1] In 1984, at the age of 10, she recorded her first song in France, La Chanson des Klaxons and 3 years later another song, Poil de Carotte, in French.[1] At the age of 17, she was discovered by a modeling agent on the Champs-Élysées in Paris and after three years of modeling, she decided to become a singer and an actress.
