Lorie Pester

Lorie, from her real name Laure Pester, keeps decisive values from her ten years practicing high-level figure skating. A couple months before the French Championship, an injury breaks down all her projects and dreams. Although she won't be a professional figure skater, she wants the show to go on and becomes an artist. After a first experience on stage at the age of 15, she becomes the first French artist discovered on the Internet thanks to the broadcasting on this new media of her first single Près de moi. The success comes immediately and allows her to sign a contract with the major company Sony Music France. Everything is chained for this young artist of 19 years old. Her first album Près de toi sold more than one million copies. The phenomenon Lorie is on its way... In 2002, the album "Tendrement" confirms this success, and is rewarded by a Platinum Europe Awards.
