Alizee Jacotey was born August 21, 1984 in Ajaccio, Corsica. Daughter of a computer scientist and a businesswoman, with a younger brother Johann, she is a famed French singer. Her stage name is Alizee, or the trade wind.Alizee made her debut with the single, Moi... Lolita, which is her most successful one. It enjoyed success throughout most of Europe and parts of east Asia. Indeed, Alizee's image was that of a seductive Lolita character. But after Moi... Lolita, she changed her image from that of a Lolita to a seventeen year old girl. Her second single was also sucessful (hitting number 1 in France). Both the singles were from her debut album, "Gourmandises", which translates to "Sweets" in English. The album, written by Farmer and composed by Boutonnat, sold over 800,000 copies in France. It went Platinum in just 3 months. In 2001, with huge international interest, the album got launched internationally and its success was phenomenal. In 2003 she returned with her second album "Mes Courants Electriques", or "My Electric Currents" in English translation. This album also was written by Farmer and Boutonnat. The first single from this album, "J'en Ai Marre", known as "Mon Bain de Mousse" in Japan, had some success outside France, although not to the same extent. This second album, featuring English versions of four tracks, was not as well recieved as "Gourmandises". It sold a little over 200,000 copies. The album was supported by a countrywide tour. A live CD and DVD, by the name "Alizee En Concert", followed. The DVD featured never-before-seen footage of her rehearsals.
