Blanche Bailly, by her real name Bailly Larinette Tatah, was born on August 8, 1995 in Kumba, in the southwestern region of Cameroon. At the age of 12, she moved with her family to France, where she became bilingual French-English, and then moved to the United Kingdom, where she recorded her first studio sessions, first known as Swagger Queen.

In 2015, she released the single "Killa", produced by Ayo Beats, and her first official single "Kam We Stay" in 2016, written by Mr. Elad and produced by Phillbill. Back in Cameroon, she continued in 2017 with "Mimbayeur", featuring rapper Mink's: the clip exceeded 15 million views on YouTube and made her a familiar name for the Central African scene. Following are "Dinguo", "Bonbon", "Ndolo" and "Ton pied, mon pied", as well as closed-door concerts in Cameroon, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, France and Switzerland.

After a long series of successful singles, including "Mine" with Joeboy and "Jaloux" with Tzy Panchak, she released her first album, "Authentik", in February 2023, by Hit Zone under exclusive license emPawa Africa. In 2018, she had already been distinguished to the AFRIMMA (best female artist in Central Africa) and to the Canal 2'Or (best female artist).
