Budet met and became good friends with producer GrandMarnier in 2000, and in 2005 they began making music together when both wanted to start a French electropop band. The name of the band, Yelle, began as an acronym of the phrase "You Enjoy Life", "YEL", but was later feminised to "Yelle" because a Belgian band was already using the former.Yelle rose to fame on MySpace when they posted a song titled "Short Dick Cuizi", which later became "Je Veux Te Voir", with their account in late 2005. It received a positive response and soon attracted the attention of record label, Source.
Yelle then began working on and recording their debut album, Pop Up in 2006,producer Tepr had been roped into the band after meeting GrandMarnier while working as a journalist.Yelle was featured on Fatal Bazooka's French number one song "Parle à ma main" in 2007.The band has enjoyed success outside of France despite making songs exclusively in French and have toured overseas in non-French speaking countries.They embarked on a full North American tour and also performed at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in 2008. After being asked by Katy Perry, they remixed her song "Hot n Cold". They later participated in the second installment of Itunes Foreign Exchange, for which they recorded a French version of Robyn's "Who's That Girl?".
Yelle's second album, Safari Disco Club, was released on March 14, 2011. The title track was released for free on their website in January 2011. They supported Katy Perry on her 2011 California Dreams Tour in th UK.
