ANYZETTE's talents are discovered in 1982 in Nice ( France ) by french singer
Claude NOUGARO.

From that date on and until 1984, ANYZETTE is the opening act to Claude Nougaro's concerts, in particular the inauguration of the Palais des Sports in Toulouse and his show at the Palais des Sports in Paris. At the same time, ANYZETTE writes the music of Claude Nougaro's new album "Ami chemin".

Barclay releases ANYZETTE's first hitsingle "Baladoun" in 1984. ANYZETTE is very much in demand by the French TV channels and the most popular TV-shows have invited her, particularly "Champs Elysées" with Michel Drucker, "Cocorico Boy" with Stéphane Colaro, or "Passeport pour la forme" shot in Senegal.

In 1986, after acting in Thomas Gilou's movie "Black Mic Mac" ANYZETTE is invited by the President of the Republic of Cameroon to sing at the inauguration of the new national TV station. That same year she decides to go and conquer America.




 


She settles in Montreal (Canada) and in 1987 RCA releases her second single play with the songs "Ebo-Ebo" and "Njinguele Mbassy". ANYZETTE goes on a promotion tour across the USA and Canada. She is also invited to participate in several major TV-shows in Quebec , such as "Ad lib" with Jean-Pierre Coalliers, "L'été show" with Jean-Pierre Ferland, Pierre Marcotte and "Echo vedettes" with Chantal Joly.

ANYZETTE appears in concert at the "Rising Sun" in Montreal accompanied by the famous guitarist Albert Collins. In 1989, Radio Canada dedicates a one hour video to her for the "Nord-sud" TV-program.

In 1990 ANYZETTE decides to step back and write new songs. At the end of 1991 she is back in Europe, at first in Basel (Switzerland) and since 1995, in Geneva.

"Radio Suisse Romande" gives her a one hour interview, during which she announces the preparation of her new album. In November 95 she is invited to sing at the "Song Tage" festival in Bern. In May 1996 ANYZETTE sings as a second part to a Miriam Makeba concert at the "Afro-Pfingsten Festival 96" in Winterthur. A few months later, on July 11th 96, she brings her support to the "Hunger Project" and sings at the United Nations in Geneva during the announcement ceremony of the "Hunger project" award winner for 1996. She then appears at the Montreux Jazz-off Festival on 14th and 19th of July, followed by the "Blu Notti Blues" Festival in Montecalvo (Italy). She finally gives 3 concerts at the "Chat Noir" in Geneva from 16th to 19th October.

Except for her participation - for the second consecutive year - at the Montreux "Jazz-off Festival", ANYZETTE spends most of 97 preparing her new album, which is released in October 98.
