Her childhood idol was Barbra Streisand. After seeing Yentl at fourteen
years old she promised herself that one day she would sing the songs of
the soundtrack on the stage. She did.
At one of her concerts some fans put up a huge surprise for her: as a
result the six thousands spectators sang - together with her band and
her backing vocalists - one of her major hits, "Je t'aime" (I love you)
which was re-written for the occasion in "On t'aime" (We love you).
Her favorite actor is Mel Gibson, and her favorite actress is Juliette
Binoche.
Her father is Flemish of Irish ancestry, her mother is Sicilian and she
has an Andalusian aunt; so she grew up speaking four languages: French,
Italian, English and Spanish.
