She started writing songs and composing her own music at an early age. She went travelled the world with her guitar and met the Band Led Zeppelin, who liked her songs. Jimmy Page got involved romantically with her. Robert Plant and Page often jammed with her and finally suggested to her to create a band.

After touring the US with Led Zeppelin, she went back to Europe and met at a concert in Paris a young guitarist Eric Levi. They decided to start a band in 1976: Shakin' Street (first named Speedball). They were exposed to the press and signed a contract with CBS France and Columbia Records USA. The band had gathered musicians like Louis Bertignac (lead guitar) and Corinne Marienneau (bass guitar), who would later join the French rock band, Téléphone. In 1978 they signed with CBS France and recorded their first album: Vampire Rock, and a year later, in 1979, they recorded their second album Solid As A Rock in New-York and San Francisco with Columbia record producer Sandy Pearlman, known for creating the band Blue Öyster Cult. Ross Friedman, aka Ross the Boss, guitarist from New York (ex The Dictators) joined to become the lead-guitarist of Shakin' Street.

She released her autobiography in 2014, "Sexe, Drogues & Rock'n'roll", co-written with French rock critic, Jean-Eric Perrin.[1]
