[edit] Biography

Discovered by Jean-Pierre Millers, Melody was produced by Dalida's brother, Orlando. In 1989, at the age of 12, she released her first single "Y'a pas que les grands qui rêvent", written by J.-P. Millers and Guy Carlier, which was a huge hit in France (#2, 28 weeks on the chart) and won the prize of the Sacem. She also released other songs such as "Chariot d'étoiles", "Le Prince du roller" ou "Mamie", which achieved a minor success.[1]

She recorded an album in 1990, Dance ta vie, which was reissued in 1993 and containing two new songs. However, it passed unnoticed.
