In 2007, she was chosen as part of the 6-member teen group Pop System (sometimes Popsystem) for the French children's series Iapiap! broadcast on Canal J, where she was mentored by M. Pokora. Pop System enjoyed great popularity in the period 2007-2008 and released the single "Laissez-nous dire" that reached #12 on the French Singles Chart.[1][2] The teen group was made up of the girls Caroline, Marina, Sarah, Lisa and the boys Nicolas and Joris.
