Vitaa

R&B chanteuse Vitaa was the first act signed to Motown Records' fledgling French subsidiary. Born in Mulhouse on March 14, 1983, Vitaa first attracted notice as a background singer, making her recorded debut with Dadoo's 2001 single "Pas à Pas." Following her breakthrough appearance on Sinik's 2006 smash "Ne Dis Jamais," she guested on the Diam's hit "Confessions Nocturnes." Vitaa's solo debut, A Fleur de Toi, followed in February 2007. In just its second week of release, the album topped the French pop chart. ~ Jason Ankeny
