LaVie discovered her love for music at a young age, to which she recalls, “My sister Sandrine and I use to watch Whitney Houston videos on VHS and sing into my mother’s hair brushes”. Now she herself is a proud parent of a teenage daughter and identical twin boys, who also have a great love for music.
  At the beginning of her career, LaVie collaborated with up and coming Producer/Musician, Stephane Murphy, and began working on original music. In 2009, LaVie, released her first album titled “Life Music”, filled with Inspirational/Soul music. The release party was filled with friends, family and supporters from the Dade, Broward and Palm Beach areas.
