Early career (2015–2023)
In 2015, at the age of 14, Marine participated in season 2 of The Voice Kids[1] by performing "Rolling in the Deep" but failed to advance past the blind auditions.[2][4] At 16, on 1 October 2016, she was a finalist in the singing competition "Y'a d'la voix" at the Casino d'Arras with "a strong personality and a powerful voice."[5][6] In 2022, Marine wrote and composed the song "Ma faute", which by December 2024 had been streamed over 750,000 times on Spotify and 340,000 times on YouTube.[7] The song quickly surpassed 3 million views when she released it before the finale of season 12 of Star Academy.[8]
Star Academy (2024–2025)
In October 2024, Marine rose to prominence by participating in season 12 of Star Academy, where she spent 15 weeks of adventure at the Château des Vives-Eaux. Like Pierre Garnier, winner of the previous edition, she reached 200,000 followers on her Instagram account a few days before the final.[9] She won the final against Ebony Cham thanks in part to strong regional support in northern France and Belgium, which gave her 65% of the public vote.[10][11] This was the third-highest score for a Star Academy winner, behind Grégory Lemarchal in 2004 (80%) and Cyril Cinélu in 2006 (67%).[12][13] This victory earned her a contract and a €100,000 advance to produce an album, record the album, and direct music videos with Sony Music France.[14][15] During 2025, she was among the nine "academicians" of her promotion to participate in Star Academy - Tour 2025.[16]
2025–present
In February 2025, Marine sang "Les Corons" at halftime of the Lens-Strasbourg match at Stade Bollaert-Delelis.[17] In March 2025, she was invited by Julien Doré to share the stage with him at his concert at the Zénith de Lille. Together, they performed the latter's song "Sublime et silence" in a piano-vocal version.[18]
