== Music career == In 2007, she met French producer Franck Rougier. Together, they wrote the two albums of Dimie Cat: ''Pin Me Up'' and ''ZigZag'' and created their own record label Dream'up. Dimie's jazzy vocal style is a mix of early to mid-20th century jazz, combined with modern beats and sounds. Adopting a sample based approach, their usual method is for Franck Rougier to produce the tracks at home and then Dimie Cat writes the words.
Since 2015, Dimie has disappeared from public view and there is no current information on her status.{{citation needed|date=December 2020}}
