In 2003, according to the results of the ZD Awards hit parade, she took 3rd place in the list of the most popular foreign artists in Russia and the Eastern Europe after Madonna and Robbie Williams.
Ingrid's parents ran a movie theatre in a small city near Parma and Reggio Emilia, an area known as the cradle of Italian music.
Ingrid grew up watching movies and listening to sound tracks which, as herself declares, fueled her ambition and desire to convey all her strong emotions to as many people as possible.
Ingrid's artistic path started with painting and acting but soon singing turned out to be her most powerful form of expression.
They offered Ingrid to write the lyrics and sing their brand new tune, and soon "Tu es foutu" came to life.
