Kidtonik

Last updated: 3 days ago

Kidtonik was a tween pop group from France who made their recording debut in 2008 and racked up a series of Top Ten hit singles. Comprised of French tweens Morgane Goffard, Alexis Durand, Joanna Miles, Oihana Lob, <a href="spotify:artist:0BeBbidRLQMMiWPXSGua5Q">Sarah Michelle</a>, and Robin Livin (the sole member from Belgium), the group was formed of winners from the kids' TV talent contest show Iapiap, broadcast by Canal J, a French television station targeting kids between the ages of seven and 14. Kidtonik made their recording debut in 2008 with the Top Five hit single Aller Plus Loin, a highly produced, electro-fashioned pop song whose appeal proved broad. While the group's full-length debut album, Aller Plus Loin (2008), released a few months later on the label <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Heben+Music%22">Heben Music</a> label, wasn't especially popular, charting for only 11 weeks and climbing no higher than number 50, it spawned a series of Top Ten follow-up hit singles with Left and Right and Jusqu'au Bout. In 2009 <a href="spotify:artist:0BeBbidRLQMMiWPXSGua5Q">Sarah Michelle</a>, then 16, was picked for solo stardom and recorded a relatively well-received debut album, Vivre, in a similar style. The following year she was back with Kidtonik, who hit the charts again with their second album, No Limit, but shortly thereafter the group fizzled out as <a href="spotify:artist:0BeBbidRLQMMiWPXSGua5Q">Sarah Michelle</a> returned to her solo career for a second, more mature album, Notre Amitié. Morgane Goffard and Joanna Miles also attempted to launch solo careers, but without success. ~ Jason Birchmeier & John D. Buchanan, Rovi
