Alizée Jacotey (born 21 August 1984 in Ajaccio, Corsica, France) is a French singer. Ali goes by the stage name Alizée — the feminine form of alizé, the trade wind. She was discovered by Mylène Farmer, following her winning performance in the talent show, Graines de Star, in 1999. While collaborating with Mylène Farmer and Laurent Boutonnat, Alizée released two albums — both of which were hits inside and outside of France.
Alizée entered the music business in 2000. She 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 Alizée 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. 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 Alizée’s debut album. Following its release, Alizée toured France during the fall of 2003, performing in 43 concerts throughout France, along with Belgium and Switzerland.
Alizée debuted in 2000 with the album Gourmandises. It went on to become a hit both in Europe and outside. The album reached top five in charts in France, Italy, Greece, Germany, Mexico,and others. It was followed up with a studio album in 2003, Mes Courants Électriques, and a live album Alizée En Concert in 2004.
Alizée has sold nearly five million albums and singles worldwide. She has taken part in various stage shows and live performances throughout Europe, everywhere from France to Russia. More recently, she has been becoming just as popular in North America as she is in much of Europe; the latest concert tours together with earlier promotion leading to a very strong fan base in mainly the United States and in Mexico. In addition, she is also very popular in parts of Asia including India, China and Japan.
