Freschard is a French singer-songwriter associated with folk and antifolk. She grows up in French Burgundy and later moves to Paris at the age of 18, where she works baking pies and cakes in a café. A regular customer there, the musician André Herman Düne, writes songs for her to sing, and she names her first EP Neon Orange.
After becoming homeless in Paris, she saves enough money for a ticket to New York. There she finds an old electric guitar and begins writing her own material. She records her second EP, Shower Gel, with Mike Gomez on lap steel guitar.
She later forms the band Back Up with André Herman Düne and G. Lucas Crane, working on poetical noise music. In 2004 she moves to Berlin, where she records her first LP, Alien Duck, combining electronic and acoustic sounds. Her second album, Click Click, is recorded in 2006 and features drummer Leo Bear Creek and electric guitar by Stanley Brinks. On her third album, Moonstone, she plays the drums herself.
She also works as a sound engineer and records music for friends. In addition, she performs in a Calypso cover band with Stanley Brinks called Kreuzberg Museum.
