Cardone was born in Pau, in South-West France. Her father was Sicilian and her mother Spanish.

This first outing gained her a nomination for the César Award for Most Promising Actress in 1989.

Cardone's career launched after a small role in La Petite Voleuse. She found success as a singer with Laurent Boutonnat, famous for his work with Mylene Farmer. She produced several hit singles including "Populaire", "Mon Ange," and — most famously — "Hasta Siempre", a song which honours the Argentinian revolutionary Che Guevara. Her first record sold over 750,000 copies in France.

She was the partner of Axel Bauer, with whom she has a son, Jim, born on June 21, 1991. Jim finished second in season 10 of TF1's The Voice in 2021.
