Ariane (6)

Born Ariane Buyst in Brussels, Belgium in 1944. Her father was a brassband music editor and owner of a musical instruments shop. She was discovered by the Belgian Sonoflex label and recorded a first single in 1960, "Amour, Amour, Réveille-moi", under the name 'Lise Dufresne' as she was underage and did not want this to be revealed. The single gained local attention and after she had turned 18 Ariane started as singer of Les Croque-notes (in 1963) before starting her own band: Ariane et ses Copains. A demo of the group was heard by Jean Kluger of Palette records early 1964. Kluger gave the group a contract but insisted the groups name would be changed into Ariane et les 10/20, after a famous shop in Brussels. Ariane and the group toured in Belgium and France, they were support acts for Adamo, Cliff Richard and Ray Charles. Ariane starts a solo career in 1966, without succes. Her career ends after she represented Belgium in the Knokke Cup in 1967.
