, an area known as the cradle of Italian music. Ingrid grew up watching movies and listening to sound tracks which, as herself declares, fueled her ambition and desire to convey all her strong emotions to as many people as possible. Ingrid's artistic path started with painting and acting but soon singing turned out to be her most powerful form of expression. She began with piano-bar, musicals and local jazz bands, but soon her soft voice brought her to meet the famous dance music producers Larry Pignagnoli and Marco Soncini. They offered Ingrid to write the lyrics and sing their brand new tune, and soon "Tu es foutu" came to life. The track broke all records of airplay on Italian networks and immediately became an international hit. "Tu es foutu" achieved gold certifications in Australia, Mexico, the Czech Republic, Greece, Romania and Russia, and was certified platinum in Mexico, Poland and Ukraine. Ingrid has released three dance albums, two chill-out albums and various singles, as well as a number of joint projects with other artists.
