For her acclaimed album "Comme à la radio," she was awarded the prestigious Grand Prix du disque de l'Académie Charles-Cros. In addition to her musical career, she has also appeared as a performer in films such as *Le Grand Soir* (2012), which won an award at the Cannes Film Festival, and *À mort la mort!* (1999).
