[edit] Musical career

She was recruited by the French singer François Feldman after being the first winner of the 'Tremplin de la chanson française' that the Parisian nightclub L'Orange Bleue organized[1].

In 1988, she recorded "J'aurais voulu te dire", a song which was composed by François Feldman and Jean-Marie Moreau. It featured on French Singles Chart (named Top 50 at the time) from February 25 to June 17, 1989, and reached number 6 for three weeks in April and May 1989[2]. This hit was also certified Siver disc by the SNEP, the French certificator, for a minimum of 200,000 copies sold[3]. According to Infodisc website, the single was sold about 247,000 copies[4].

In 1992, she launched her first album, À Fleur de peau, containing "J'aurais voulu te dire" and her unsuccessful previous single.

In 1995, she released, under the slightly amended name of Karoline Legrand, Être ensemble, an album produced by Didier Barbelivien.
