She realized her talent at a young age, however, her father did not allow her to make music, prompting Onguenet to skip classes to audition for the Nouvelle Star in Paris.

She competed in the final against Mathieu Saikaly, the winner of the season, and performed songs such as Roar, Feeling Good, and Wasting My Young Years throughout her duration on the show. Following the show, Onguenet signed to Polydor Records under the name Yseult, and announced that she was preparing her debut album, working with French composer and singer, Emmanuel Da Silva. In May 2014, Yseult released the lead single to her album, "La Vague", the video to which she later posted on her Vevo channel. As of December 2020, the music video has over one million views.
