In 1994 she won the regional competition “the voice of San Remo”. In 2002, record producers Larry Pignagnoli and Marco Soncini invited her to sing on a couple of ideas they were working on in the studio. She laid down the vocals of "Tu es Foutu" in one go. The track reached the Top 10 in Spain, Germany and Australia, and spent 41 weeks in the German sales charts.[citation needed]The second single "In-Tango" also entered the sales charts in Germany and Denmark.
