Nathalie Pâque is a Belgian singer who represented France in the Eurovision Song Contest 1989 in Lausanne with the song J'ai volé la vie, which finished in eighth place.
At five days short of her 12th birthday, Pâque was the youngest performer ever to take a lead vocal at Eurovision. In response to reservations expressed by a number of participating countries regarding Pâque's youth (and that of 1989 Israeli singer Gili, who was only slightly older), the European Broadcasting Union amended the Eurovision rules on age with effect from 1990.
Pâque released several singles and two albums in Belgium during the 1990s, and in recent years has appeared in stage musicals such as "Titanic" and "Singin' in the Rain" in Belgium and France.
