| Séverine was born on La Réunion, where she spent most of her childhood.
There, she created her first group when she was only 8 years old. At the age of 10, she played the major singing role in a musical and was seen by Michel Drucker and several other French producers.
Four years later, one of them invited her to come to Paris. Unfortunately, when she arrived in the French capital, the project was cancelled. Séverine finally decided to settle in Paris, took singing lessons and went for many castings.
She finally got her chance when she was asked to present ‘Fan de’, a musical show on M6, one of the main French channels.
Then she recorded the generic music of the famous TV series ‘Lola, qui es tu Lola?’, shot in Monaco. Séverine's voice fits the music perfectly. The CD single ‘Lola’ became a hit.
Moreover, ‘Lola’ was the perfect opportunity to meet composers and songwriters who decided to write several songs for her. Finally, her dream became reality and she released her first album ‘Séverine Ferrer’. Two CD singles were released from this CD album. Séverine's team consisted of Iren Bo as composer and lyricist (who has previously worked with Julie Zénatti, Tina Arena, Patrick Fiori, L5, Jonathan Cerrada), Patrick Hampartzoumian as composer, producer and arranger (having previously worked with Garou, Bananarama, Céline Dion, Florent Pagny, Patrick Fiori, Roc Voisine), Claire Séverac, J.C. Collo and E. Andreu. This CD made Séverine popular with the French audience. Following the success of the album, Séverine started touring France to meet her fans.
In 2006, she is realising another long-standing dream – participating in the Eurovision Song Contest!
Séverine has been chosen to represent Monaco at the 2006 Contest, and will sing ‘La CocoDance’, a summery, happy song that pays homage to the French Polynesian musical culture and traditions. |
