Shana Vanguarde is a French singer known for her contributions to electronic and house music. From an early age, she was immersed in the musical world through her friend's mother, who was a choir member. She began performing at corporate events before transitioning into makeup artistry for shows and later becoming a nail technician. Her singing career commenced in 2004 when her friend Guillaume introduced her to Stéphane and Hedi, who were working on the project Vanguarde. An enthusiastic fan of ABBA, Vanguarde's first recording was "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!", released as a single in September 2004. This track, a cover of ABBA’s hit, topped the French club charts for three consecutive weeks. Following this success, she released the single "Mamma Mia" in February 2005 and "Dancing Queen" in September 2005, both of which were also well-received in clubs.
