In-Grid

Italian singer/songwriter and dancer In-Grid was born Ingrid Alberini (she was named after iconic actress Ingrid Bergman) in Italy on September 11, 1973. After triumphing at the Voice of San Remo competition in 1994, she began her professional career in earnest, releasing her first single, “Someday” in 2000. Her big break came when producers Marco Soncini and Larry Pignagnoli had her record the vocal track for “Tu es foutu”, a 2001 single that would become an international dance smash. It went to number 1 in Greece and Sweden, and landed in the top 10 in the United States, Denmark, Germany, Poland, and the Netherlands. The song was included on In-Grid’s 2003 debut album Rendez-Vous, which charted in several countries, reaching its best position in Poland where it went to number 3. That album also contained the hit singles “In-Tango” and “I’m folle de toi”. The 2004 follow-up, La Vie En Rose, hit number 2 in Poland with the help of the top ten Polish single “Milord”. Her third album, 2005’s Voilà! Underperformed, causing a four year hiatus until 2009s Passion. She released a smattering of singles in collaboration with Rouge in the 2010’s—2014’s “J’adore” and 2015’s “Kiki Swing”.
