Alizee also known by her nickname “Lili”, Alizee started dancing early in her life, and by age four was already proficient. A year later, Alizee was enrolled in Corsica’s renowned dance school, École du Spectacle de Monique Mufraggi, and trained there until Alizee was 15. On 1995, at the age of eleven, Alizee won a coloring competition organized by Air Outre Mer, a former French airline now partly acquired by Swissair. Her design won first prize and was reproduced on the cabin of one of the airline’s aircraft. The aircraft was subsequently named after her, and Alizee won a trip to the Maldives for her efforts.
Alizee was discovered by veteran Canadian-born French pop diva Mylène Farmer and Laurent Boutonnat, when Alizee following her winning performance in the TV talent show “Graines de Star”, broadcast on Métropole 6, on 1999. While collaborating with Mylène Farmer and Laurent Boutonnat, Alizee released two albums—both of which were hits inside and outside of France.
Alizee entered the music business in 2000. Alizee has since released three studio albums – first two of which were composed by Laurent Boutonnat and written by Mylène Farmer. Her first album was Gourmandises, which received Platinum certification within three months of release. Gourmandises was a success both in France and abroad—after it had its international launch in 2001—earning Alizee the distinction of being the highest selling female French singer in 2001. The album featured her most successful single “Moi… Lolita” which reached number one in several countries in Europe and East Asia. The marketing campaign around the single affixed Alizee’s image as that of a Lolita. Gourmandises was followed by a second studio album, Mes Courants Électriques in 2003, which was also quite successful, though not as big a hit as Alizee’s debut album. Following its release, Alizee toured France during the fall of 2003, performing in 43 concerts throughout France, along with Belgium and Switzerland.
Alizee married fellow French singer, he name is Jérémy Chatelain in late 2003. Following her marriage Alizee took a hiatus from singing before returning with a new album, titled Psychédélices on December 3, 2007.
Alizee on the beginning of 2009 had to cancel a concert in France. Alizee announced then that Alizee was already working on her future album, which would sound very different from all of her previous recordings. The album is expected for March 2010. A teaser can be shown on the Internet, called “Une enfant du siècle” (“A child of the century”).
