She was briefly married to French graffiti artist André Saraiva between 2008 and 2009. Uffie's music incorporates synthpop, acid house,〔 Note: The reader must click on "Show more".〕 alternative dance,〔 and "somewhere between electro, rap and nu skool".〔 She is perhaps best known for her single "Pop the Glock", as well as "Tthhee Ppaarrttyy", her 2007 collaboration with labelmates Justice. Some of her live performances have been described as "Warholian".〔 In 2010, Uffie released her debut album ''Sex Dreams and Denim Jeans'', which was included on several year-end critics' lists and was nominated in the French Victoires de la Musique for Best Electronic Album. Also in 2010, Uffie released a twelve-piece capsule collection with clothing brand Diesel. ==Biography== Uffie was born Anna-Catherine Hartley in Miami, Florida, to a Japanese mother and a British father. She moved to Hong Kong with her family at the age of four, where she spent her formative years.〔 According to Hartley, Uffie is a nickname her father gave her, and comes from the French word "œuf", which means "egg".〔 She recalls: "()hen I was little it started as 'Enough'. My parents were always saying 'Enough!' Then my dad figured, 'Hey, enough is un œuf, is a petite œuf' () So by the time my memory begins they were all calling me Uffie." During her teens, Uffie moved with her mother to Fort Lauderdale and then back to Miami where she was arrested for vandalism at the age of fifteen, causing her mother to send her to live with her father in Paris. Uffie studied fashion in Paris and attended the International School of Paris. In 2005 Uffie booked DJ Feadz for a party she was organizing, and the two began a relationship shortly after. Feadz constantly pressured Uffie to provide vocals for some of his tracks and finally in late 2005 Uffie wrote "Pop the Glock" while on holiday and released it as a Myspace demo. Record label Arcade Mode gave the song a limited promo release in January 2006 with the B-side "Ready to Uff" which Feadz's labelmate Mr. Oizo produced. Soon after the release Uffie was signed to the French electronic music label Ed Banger Records by Busy P. Uffie then began dating graffiti artist and photographer André Saraiva, and the two were married in August 2008. The couple divorced in the summer of 2009, before the birth of their daughter Henrietta in October 2009. She took a brief hiatus from work, which gave her time to find herself and mature as an artist and finish her full-length debut album, ''Sex Dreams and Denim Jeans''. By 2013 she had retired from music. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Uffie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
