Her modest family settled permanently in Guadeloupe after some initial back and forth among the sister islands. In 1998, Leila Chicot quitted her studies and choose to live with her passion--music. It is about two years before that, Leila had listened a radio advertisement about a singing contest organized by the home MORADISC discs where the winner would be offered to record an album.

Leila Chicot took part in the contest, although she was lost in the semifinal but her talent was noticed by the two composers of Fuzion-- Tony Deloumeaux and Richard Birman, who subsequently proposed her to perform on a concept called "Double Jeu". Although her parents were a little skeptical in the beginning, finally her mother signed the contract in the spring of 1996. Leila went on producing hits one after another under the Fuzion banner like "Sensual", "Flame", "Confessed" (written in Creole), "Always Salt" and "Stalemate".
