Lee's first album, Vous remercier ("To Thank You"), was recorded with Bustafunk. It was released on 2 November 2009 on the Internet and to stores on 9 November 2009 on the label Mercury Records, a division of the group Universal Music French. One hundred thousand copies of the album are said to have been sold.
