Background
editAt the age of 14, Isleym was discovered by French rapper Nessbeal and record producer Skread, and later signed to Skread's record label 7th Magnitude.[3][4] She began writing and composing songs with Dany Synthé, and after the release of her debut single "Avec le temps", she decided that she had to begin working on an album.
[...] In fact, he [Nessbeal] lives in the same neighbourhood as I do. One day, he came into the studio where I was singing, he listened and he got hooked. From there, he took me under his wing. He introduced me to his team and proposed that we work together. I trusted him and I haven't been wrong! I continued working with Dany Synthé, we racked up some tracks and I presented them to my producer. We recorded them as we went on, until the song "Avec le temps", where we said that we had to do an album. It was after this song that I signed with the label 7th Magnitude.
— Isleym, in an interview with Que j'adore Paris.[5]
