Alizee Jacotey Biography
Alizee Jacotey born August 21, 1984 is a French singer. Born in Ajaccio, Corsica, she goes by the stage name Alizee Jacotey— the feminine form of alizé, the trade wind. Alizee Jacotey was discovered by Mylène Farmer, a successful Quebec-born French singer, following her winning performance in the talent show, Graines de Star, in 1999. While collaborating with Mylène Farmer and Laurent Boutonnat, Alizee Jacotey came up with two albums — both of which were hits inside and outside of France.Alizee Jacotey is considered the protégée of Mylène Farmer.
Alizee Jacotey entered the music business in the year 2000. Since then, Alizee Jacotey has released two studio albums, 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 Alizee Jacotey 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.
The marketing campaign around the single affixed Alizee Jacotey's image as that of a seductive lolita. 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 Alizee Jacotey's debut album. Following its release, Alizee Jacotey toured France during the fall of 2003, performing in 43 concerts throughout France, along with Belgium and Switzerland.
Alizee Jacotey married fellow French singer Jérémy Châtelain in late 2003. Since Alizee Jacotey marriage she has taken a break from singing, but is returning with a new album, titled Psychédélices on December 3, 2007.
