At the same time as her studies, she also started singing in various bands. ***Later on, she was commissioned to write music for short films, dance shows and advertisements (some of which were shot by David Lynch and Patrice Leconte). This enabled her to finance her first album. ***Around the same time, she also wrote music for Agnès Bihl (Naïve) and sang backing vocals on Politics, the second album of Sébastien Tellier (Record Makers).
