Alizée, now aged 23, was born on the coast of Corsica on 21th of August. Hailing from Ajaccio, her childhood on the island was a happy one.

Early on, Alizée sought to express her artistic streak. She loved to dance and began lessons at the age of 4. She became increasingly familiar with, and drawn to show business through her acting and singing lessons. At the age of 11, she entered a drawing competition by coloring in an airplane and won first prize.
Not only did she win a marvelous trip to the Maldives - a life-size reproduction of her drawing was featured on the aircraft’s cabin, which was to be named "Alizée".

But her greatest chance was meeting Mylène Farmer and Laurent Boutonnat. In the year 2000, the chart-topping duo of nearly 15 years was seeking a young artist to sing the song "Moi... Lolita". It was by chance that their paths crossed. After a few studio tests with conclusive results she was chosen. The single was a huge success with over 1.5 million singles sold in France.

Her debut album entitled "Gourmandises" was then in the making. The music was composed by Laurent Boutonnat and Mylène Farmer wrote lyrics especially for Alizée based on her own desires, tastes and true life experience. Her songs are about teenage life, doubts, love and ... her greediness. The album was a huge success, going platinum in just 3 months with 300,000 copies sold and with sales to date amounting to over 800,000 copies in France.

The second single "L'Alizé", was released at the same time as the album, producing another hit and reaching number one in the charts with over 700 000 copies sold in France.

2 years later, over 4 million records were sold throughout the world and Alizée also received several awards - NRJ awards, World Music Awards, M6 awards, and other European awards.

In 2001 Alizée won interest abroad with international audiences beckoning her and her album out in a number of European countries plus Canada, Russia and Japan. Alizée also won a HIT FM AWARD in Russia.

The song "Moi... Lolita" made exceptional headway for a French single and has been a huge success in Europe.

Alizée received a Gold Disc in the Netherlands after several weeks in the top 3 of the Dutch singles chart. And the same happened in Germany, where Moi…Lolita also won a Gold Disc and Alizée has been in the Top 10 for several weeks and even reached number 5.

Her second album "Mes Courants Électriques", featuring the single, "I’m fed up", is also written and produced by Mylène Farmer and Laurent Boutonnat. "Mes Courants Électriques" was released in France on 18th March 2003. It was followed by a successful French concert tour, from which a live album and DVD was relased on October 18th 2004.

This DVD is one of the first to be filmed in High Definition. In addition to stereo sound, the soundtrack offers Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1 audio. DVD extras include brand new footage of Alizée’s concert rehearsals, the making of her video and her trip to Japan.
