Eye and stage name

Alice remembers that at the age of fourteen or fifteen, she drew an eye on her hand. Ever since, the eye has signified creation to her and has encouraged her to feel better. The name "Alice et Moi" references the duality of her personality. In an interview with ''Lemon'', she explains that one side of her is a girl who is insecure about herself, while the other side, which, according to her, is more prevalent today, is a "very enthusiastic" girl, "who is not afraid of anything". Furthermore, she says that her stage name allows her fans to "share a bond" with her and to create intimacy by pronouncing the name.
