On Thursday February 2, 2023, in an interview with melty, she remembers:

“He was the one who reached out to me. Before he became a coach of The Voice, he was already a mentor without knowing it. He was the one who started me, who introduced me to his team at the time, which had become mine, and I watched him work. »

She then went on to say:

“I watched him do concerts, do interviews, I watched how he was with his fans. I learned a lot from him. »

Yeah the two friends were inseparable , today, they see less and less. As Florent Pagny's friend said during her interview:

“Afterwards, he left for Patagonia, because his wife Azucena was very pregnant. We haven't seen each other at all. We saw each other just like that, when he came to France to promote his albums. »

'He was the one who started my career in the mid-90s when he introduced me to his team and in particular Erik Benzi. Since that date, we must have seen each other only three times, but I consider him my mentor in this profession. A few weeks ago when I had the text of Our parallel lives in my hands, I said to myself: 'I can't sing this alone. It has to be done as a duo. I immediately thought of Florent to interpret it. »

That's not all ! On Saturday September 19, 2015, on the set of 50′ Inside, the young woman returned to her meeting with Florent Pagny . With amusement, she remembered:

“Florent is a special story. It's a pretty funny story because it's my ex-neighbor's uncle who knows an electrician who had helped out Florent Pagny one day, and Florent gave him his card. He introduced him to me and at that time, he introduced me to his producer who later became mine”
