A year later, she met Caravan Palace bassist Antoine Toutsou through her parents and the pair played their first live show in 2004. Six months later, her backing group was expanded to three people when Higelin and Toutsou were joined by Sébastien Hoog and Vincent Polycarpe. She left school at the age of 15 in order to concentrate on a career in music.
In 2006, Higelin released her first extended play and the following year she opened for Iggy & the Stooges at the Printemps de Bourges music festival. She consequently embarked on a tour of France, which consisted of over thirty dates. On 8 June 2009, her eponymous debut studio album, Izia was released in France. In some reviews, the album garnered comparisons to Janis Joplin. The album performed reasonably well in the French albums chart, achieving a peak position of #31 and staying in the top 100 for 17 consecutive weeks.
She released the album So Much Trouble in 2011, and La Vague in 2015. Since 2012 she has also been active as a film actress.

IZIA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tout ce que tu disais
Anything at all
Lorsque j'ai vu en toi la couleur
Que tu gardais parfois
Et le sens que tu mets dans tes pas
Et l'amour que tu es
Over the bridges of a lie
Someday
We'll start everything in different place
You choose your family and your friend
Again, over and over again
Lorsque j'ai su tout ce que tu savais
Tout ce que tu disais
Anything at all
Lorsque j'ai vu en toi la colère
Qui tiraillait parfois
Et la force qui s'enraille dans ta voix
Et le coeur que tu mets
We'll throw all our regrets in a light
Over the bridges of a lie
Someday
We'll start everything in different place
You choose your family and your friend
Again, over and over again
We'll throw all our regrets in a light
Over the bridges of a lie
Someday
We'll start everything in different place
You choose your family and your friend
Again, over and over again
We'll throw all our regrets in a light
Over the bridges of a lie
Someday
We'll start everything in different place
You choose your family and your friend
Again, over and over again
