Ringer started her professional career on stage in the late 1970s in productions with
Michael Lonsdale's Théâtre de Recherche Musicale as well as musical and dance productions. In 1976, she met the Argentine dancer and choreographer
Marcia Moretto with whom she studied and also performed in various venues in Paris.[2] The hit song "
Marcia Baïla" was written as a tribute to Moretto after her death in 1981.
In 1979, she met
Fred Chichin with whom she founded and co-led the music group
Les Rita Mitsouko. Ringer continued leading the group after Chichin's death in November 2007.

Gotan Project album Tango 3.0, Ringer teamed up with members
Eduardo Makaroff and
Christoph H. Müller to create Plaza Francia, now known as Plaza Francia Orchestra for their 7 April 2014 release A New Tango Song Book.[3][4] The album came with critical acclaim and a commercial success in France also charting in Belgium and she continues to perform with them to this day.
