Miss Kittin (real name Caroline Hervé) is an electronica vocalist and DJ. She was born in Grenoble, France in 1973. At age 22 she began DJing, spinning records in France, Moscow and Chicago with Mike Dearborn. Soon after she met DJ Hell in Marseille who wanted her to record for his International DeeJay Gigolos label. She presented him her EP Champagne that she recorded with The Hacker. Miss Kittin & The Hacker will record a year after on Gigolo First Album with some tracks like "1982" or "Frank Sinatra" that will become the anthems of the electroclash scene.
She has now become one of the most important exponents of electroclash, working together with Felix da Housecat, Chicks on Speed, and Golden Boy. Later, she released a techno music compilation under her own name (Miss Kittin On The Road). Her debut solo CD I Com has elements from many electronic styles and is much more experimental than her previous records.
