Her mother tongue is French. She is also fluent in English, Spanish and Dutch.
She began piano at age five, scales at eight, and wrote one of her first songs at twelve. At fourteen she started taking singing lessons.
She learnt live performing in numerous piano bars and met the person who would become her producer and manager, François Leboutte. He had her record her first demos before launching her in the profession.
At the end of 2012 she released her first single, Your Turn, which was warmly received by Belgian radio stations and was the most played song in the French speaking part of Belgium in 2013.
In 2013 she started posting piano-voice covers on YouTube, which quickly achieved millions of views. Her cover of "Gangsta's Paradise" was noticed by the rapper Coolio, its original interpreter, who called it the best cover of his hit.
In 2014 she released two EPs. First was Time, which contained original songs and recorded in Paris, London and New York in collaboration with (Tom Coyne, Volodia…).[8] And Visions, a cover EP she offers to her internet followers.
Among her most famous tracks are "Time", "To Say Goodbye", and "No Diggity". All of these tracks made the best radio charts and the double EP spent several weeks in the official charts.
Thanks to these songs, she was invited to appear on numerous TV shows and to give numerous concerts across Europe and at festivals such as Les Francofolies de Spa, the Brussels Summer Festival and the Festival de Cannes.
In 2015 the RTBF music show D6bels on Stage dedicated a special edition to her and the news broadcast of the same channel mentioned her among the favourites of the Francofolies de Spa's 2015 edition.
In 2016 she went to London to record her next album in Abbey Road studios, which has preserved the equipment used in the 1960s. She notably worked with Dimitri Tikovoï, Danton Supple and with the funk, jazz, hip-hop and soul collective The Heliocentrics. The Whispers, the first single from these recordings, was released in March 2016.
In January 2017 she was nominated for the D6bels Music Awards in the categories "Female Artist of the Year" and "Artist Classic 21", and she released a new song, Daddy's Not Coming Back.
When the moment came to release her first EP, she lost her voice during a live show, due to a vocal fold cyst. She had to remain silent for several months to avoid the necessity of an operation which might make her lose her voice tone. She had no choice but to cancel all her engagements.
Replace
Typh Barrow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I realized I wasn't your only brunette
How could I ignore that we were forming a sextet
There was me, you, Jeanette, Andrea, Bella, Georgette
Then I left you messed up my friends had to make up
They picked up the pieces afterwards
Now again I'm breathing I accept the feeling
The two of us no this will never work
Yeah, you tried to replace me
But you couldn't, you couldn't
And I try to replace you
And I do, I do, oh yes I do
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
I try to replace you and I do-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Yes I do
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
I try to replace you and I do-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Later your name showed up all day on my telephone
Calling begging mewling saying you wanted me home
Big boy keep on having a little whine and moan
Next time I see your face will be on your gravestone
Oh I left you messed up my friends had to make up
They picked up the pieces afterwards
Now you come here begging I couldn't keep from laughing
The two of us no this will never work
Yeah, you tried to replace me
But you couldn't, you couldn't
And I try to replace you
And I do, I do, oh yes I do
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
I try to replace you and I do-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Yes I do
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
I try to replace you and I do-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
You should think twice about it
When being such a jerk
Not sorry for the regrets
This will never work
Never, never, never, never work
Never, never, never, never work
You tried to replace me
But you couldn't, you couldn't
And I try to replace you
And I do, I do, oh yes I do
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
I try to replace you and I do-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Yes I do
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
I try to replace you and I do-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
The lyrics to Typh Barrow's song Replace talk about the end of a relationship between the singer and her partner. At the beginning, they were on a "bubble planet", meaning they were living in their own little world, far away from any problems or issues. However, the singer realized that her partner had been seeing other women, and the relationship turned into a "sextet" with Jeanette, Andrea, Bella, and Georgette. The singer left, leaving her partner and friends feeling "messed up", but eventually moved on and started seeing someone else, despite trying to "replace" her former partner.
Later on, the former partner tried to reconcile with the singer but was met with laughter and rejection. The lyrics imply that the partner was not faithful in the relationship and was, in fact, a "jerk". The singer is unapologetic for ending the relationship and is sure that it will never work again. The chorus repeats the theme of the two trying to replace each other and ultimately succeeding, with both parties moving on to new relationships.
Overall, the lyrics suggest that the singer is strong enough to move on from a toxic relationship and find happiness elsewhere, while her former partner is left to regret their actions.

Firstly there was you and me on a bubble planet
We used to be in a happy place, just you and me
But I realized I wasn't your only brunette
I found out that you were seeing other women and I wasn't the only one
How could I ignore that we were forming a sextet
It was impossible for me to ignore the fact that there were multiple people involved in our relationship
There was me, you, Jeanette, Andrea, Bella, Georgette
Our relationship had turned into a group affair involving six people
Then I left you messed up my friends had to make up
I left you and it caused problems for our mutual friends, who had to step in and try to mend things
They picked up the pieces afterwards
Our friends tried their best to fix things between us after I left
Now again I'm breathing I accept the feeling
I'm moving on and accepting my new reality
The two of us no this will never work
You and I can never be together again
Yeah, you tried to replace me
You attempted to find someone else to fill the void I left
But you couldn't, you couldn't
You failed in your attempt to replace me
And I try to replace you
I also tried to find someone else to replace you
And I do, I do, oh yes I do
I was successful in finding someone else to fill the void you left behind
Later your name showed up all day on my telephone
You kept calling and texting me all day long
Calling begging mewling saying you wanted me home
You were begging and pleading with me to come back to you
Big boy keep on having a little whine and moan
You were acting like a child, constantly complaining and throwing a fit
Next time I see your face will be on your gravestone
I have no intention of ever being with you again, and the next time I see you will be at your funeral
Now you come here begging I couldn't keep from laughing
I can't help but laugh at the sight of you begging for my forgiveness
You should think twice about it
You need to seriously consider your actions and their consequences
When being such a jerk
You were acting like a complete and utter jerk
Not sorry for the regrets
I don't regret leaving you and moving on with my life
This will never work
Our relationship is doomed to fail and we can never be together again
Never, never, never, never work
No matter what we do or how hard we try, our relationship will never work out
Yes I do
I was successful in finding someone else to fill the void you left behind
