The origin of the group goes back to the classical pianist Kim-Thuy Nguyen, who was trained at the La Rochelle Conservatory . After experiencing various styles of music - including in the music group Samanawok in 1997 - she decided to found her own band.

After signing a contract with Baidjan Records in 2006, Ina-Ich released her first album a year later on Wagram Music, which bears the band's name. The line-up originally consisted of Aurélien Clair as drummer, Cyrille Nobillet as bass guitarist and Mickael Lebayon as guitarist, while Kim-Thuy Nguyen sang and played the piano. At the end of 2007, the band was replaced with a new bassist (Frédéric Wursten) and a new guitarist (Gaël Mesny), but they were replaced in 2009 by bassist Patrick Loiseau and guitarist Frédéric Mariolle.

In 2007 the group achieved their first major success when they won the coveted jury prize Prix ​​Pierre Delanoë for young talents and later performed at the famous French music festival Francofolies in 2007 and then at the Fête de l'Humanité in 2008 . A second album, L'Année du tigre , was released in 2011.
