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.
TABOO
Typh Barrow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My lover's hidden in my closet
I've got wrong feelings it's a shame
They say I'm sick I'm to blame
I've got my heart in a locket
They have something against us now
They have something against us now
I feel this love just like I should
Fire we would burn in fire
As if by loving each other
We're commiting a murder murder
Remember we're fighters
Society is the killer
But I don't care if we are together
Fire as lovers we are sinners they say
Fire, we'd be burning like liers they say
Fire, like the flame burning in my heart for you
Fire Fire
Taboo taboo taboo
I can't resist you are like a magnet
You take me to another planet
Where we don't care about prejudice
We would be in peace
I look at you and God I forget
Something against us now
They have something against us now
You know that babe it hurts so good
I feel this love just like I should
Fire we would burn in fire
As if by loving each other
We're commiting a murder murder
Remember we're fighters
Society is the killer
But I don't care if we are together
Fire as lovers we are sinners they say
Fire, we'd be burning like liers they say
Fire, like the flame burning in my heart for you
