Throughout the 2024-2025 season, she captured the hearts of the audience, becoming their favorite contestant. Her debut single, “Ma faute,” has skyrocketed in popularity, racking up over 3 million streams on Spotify, a staggering leap from its mere 3,000 listens prior to her time on the show.
Future Endeavors and Musical Aspirations
Following her significant win, Marine has been in high demand, making appearances on various television programs and media outlets to discuss her journey and upcoming projects.

With the backing of Sony Music and a prize of 100,000 euros, Marine is on track to fulfill her dream of releasing a successful album. She has expressed a desire to collaborate with fellow contestant Franck on a duet. In an insightful interview with *Le Parisien*, she hinted at the emotional depth of her music, mentioning a blend of piano and vocals, alongside upbeat, rhythmic tracks reminiscent of her performances with Charlotte Cardin and Helena during the show. Marine is still in the creative process, stating, “I don’t have all the ideas yet. I will have to think about it.”
During a candid discussion with NRJ, Marine reflected on the whirlwind of experiences since leaving *Star Academy*, describing the transition from isolation to fame as “a bit violent,” yet exhilarating.
