Janis Sahraoui

Sahraoui debuted in the late 2000s under the stage name Sliimy (rhyming with "Jimmy")[3] through social networking websites where she released her songs.

The artist soon received attention online and signed into recording label Warner Music Group, releasing the single Wake Up and her debut album Paint Your Face in 2009, which reached number 2 in the French charts.

The artist was met with success online, and with her guitarist Feed she eventually signed into recording label Warner Music Group.

Sahraoui received more international attention in late 2008 after her cover of Britney Spears's song Womanizer was featured by American blogger Perez Hilton.

Paint Your Face was mixed at Trout Recording Studio in New York in March by Bryce Goggin, who has worked with Antony and the Johnsons and Pavement.

A few months later, the artist made a surprising appearance in the music video for the hit song I Gotta Feeling by The Black Eyed Peas in the album The END.

On 9 September 2011, Sahraoui gave an interview for the international fashion magazine Vs., in which she talks about her future projects and mainly expresses her desire to record a new album that will be "very different" than Paint Your Face, and show a clear evolution in their career.

In January 2013, Sahraoui said she still has not decided on a release date, although the record could be out in 2014, and the themes and inspirations that will be addressed in this album will be the dream world and surrealism.
