Aurélie Saada, born in Paris on August 4, 1978, is a singer, songwriter and actress. She is also known under the pseudonyms Mayane Delem and Aurélie Maggiori (used during her marriage to Mark Maggiori). In 2008 She and Sylvie Hoarau started Brigitte, an indie folk band. The duo won "Group or Artist Stage Révélation of the Year" at the 2012 Victoires de la musique.
Born in Paris on August 1978, Aurélie Saada discovered music through her mother, a psychoanalyst who would play Led Zeppelin and The Beatles for her. As a teenager she spent time at Bang-Bar, a piano bar owned by her uncle Jean Luc Bitbol. There she sang music by Elton John, Stevie Wonder and Prince. At 16 she joined the Yiddish band Adama. She took classes at l'École Sudden Théâtre the theater school of Raymond Acquaviva. She also took free courses at the drama school Cours Florent.
In 1995, she starred in the short film No more by Daniel Cotard.
In 1996, she performed for three months at the Bataclan in the musical Mayflower with Eric Charden and Guy Bontempelli. The following year she sang a duet with Renaud Hantson on his EP track "Chasseur solitaire". The track is on Hantson's 1997 album Seulement humain and the 2006 re-release of the album. Her track Mauvaise herbe was used on the soundtrack of the 1998 movie Les Kidnapeurs. On February 12, 1999 at the Bataclan, Aurélie Saada played the role of The Colonel in Herbert Pagani's musical Megalopolis. She performed alongside Francis Lalanne, Dominique Guillo, Veronica Antico, Fabrice La Villehervé and Cachou. That same year the audio of the show was recorded and released on CD. Aurélie also performed in the 1999 production of Three Sisters by Anton Chekhov and in the 2001 production Becket or the Honour of God by Jean Anouilh.
