She was born to a Moroccan-Canadian family on October 30, 1985, in Montreal, Quebec.

The eponymous La Bronze was released in September 2014 and earned her an award for "Emerging Artist of the Year" at the Alternative Independent Music Gala of Quebec (GAMIQ) in 2015. That same year, she recorded a cover of Stromae's chart-topping European hit "Formidable," choosing to sing the song is Maghrebi Arabic rather than her native French. La Bronze's version of "Formidable" behind a viral hit and greatly expanded her international audience.

The EP was followed by the full-length album Les corps infinis in 2017.

She released various standalone singles during the following years before gathering many of those hits on her 2022 record Vis-moi. One year later, her 2014 debut album was certified gold in Canada.
