Lorie, born Laure Pester, is a French artist who has been in the spotlight for over two decades. She began her career as a figure skater, but an injury forced her to pivot to music at the age of 15. Her debut single "Près de moi" went viral on the internet, and she became the first French artist to be discovered online.
Lorie's success was immediate, and she signed with Sony Music France. Her debut album "Près de toi" sold over one million copies, making her a teen idol. Her subsequent albums, "Tendrement" and "Attitudes", cemented her status as a global superstar. She received the World Music Award for the French artist who sold the most albums in the world in 2003.
As Lorie grew older, her music evolved, and she explored different genres. Her album "Rester la même" featured zouk, R&B, and electro sounds. She toured extensively, performing at iconic venues like the Palais Omnisport de Paris Bercy.
In 2007, Lorie became her own producer, releasing the album "2lor en moi", which marked a transition to a more mature sound. She then took a hiatus from music to pursue acting. Her first role was in a TV movie on ice skating, a nod to her own experience as a figure skater.
Lorie's international fame led to roles in TV series like "The Young and the Restless" and "Joséphine guardian angel". She also appeared in several Disney movies, including "Tinker Bell and the secret of the wings" and "Tinker Bell and the Pirate Fairy".
In 2011, Lorie returned to music with her album "Regarde moi", followed by "Danse" in 2012. She also participated in the third season of "Dancing with the stars" and became a TV presenter on "Opening act".
Throughout her career, Lorie has been a multi-talented artist, exploring music, acting, and dance. She continues to work on new projects, including a short movie, "A dog's life", and has walked the red carpet at several film festivals.
