Through numerous collaborations for the iconic cabaret that gave her her stage name\u2014a nod to her African youth\u2014with renowned artists (Philippe D\u00e9coufl\u00e9, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, Dita Von Teese, Beyonc\u00e9, among others), she has forged a rich and multifaceted career. After first stepping into music alongside Ycare, she revealed herself on stage through her collaborations with Marc Collin\u2019s group Nouvelle Vague during international tours.
