The transformation of influencer into chanteuse…
French singer-songwriter and web video artist Laure Gonnet was born in 1998 in Lyon. Her stage name Styleto comes from her ‘Style tonic’ YouTube channel which she created in 2013 to reveal quirky and sincere updates on her life as a teenager. She posted from her bedroom in between jazz dance classes and school studies, with her natural charm and acute sense of self-irony proving popular with fans.
Her musical path began in 2021, when she posted a cover of Dalida’s iconic 1983 song Mourir sur scène, which was an internet hit in France, which she then followed with a cover version of Gaffe aux autres by her favourite singer, Ben Mazué (see below). With three million views, it kickstarted her bona fide music career and led to her being invited on stage by Mazué.
In 2022 she released her debut album, Carrousel, which included a duet with Louane on Capitaine, before starting to compose her own songs, with one French reviewer noting that “her superpower is to sublimate everyday life and the universal emotions that run through us”. In March this year, she released a new album, Fille lacrymale, and is on tour throughout 2025.
