Carrying the song “Heart”, Zoé Clauzure will represent France at Junior Eurovision 2023, seeking to shine during the 21st edition of the competition intended for young people aged 9 to 14, scheduled at the Palais Nikaia in Nice, on November 26.
The 21st edition of the competition held at the Palais Nikaia in Nice is building palpable anticipation, promising to provide a platform for talented young artists. Among these talents, the notable presence of Zoé Clauzure, 13, with her song “Cœur” was recently confirmed. It’s an event that art and music lovers eagerly await.
Confirmation of Zoé’s participation was made during a media briefing held this Wednesday afternoon, in the charming capital of the Alpes-Maritimes. The song in competition, “Cœur”, by Noée, is a cry from the heart dedicated to raising awareness against school bullying. According to Alexandra Redde-Amie, the leader of the French delegation and executive producer of this year’s event, it is an up-tempo piece that carries a poignant message.
Zoé, who has already left her mark in the seventh season of The Voice Kids in 2020 and who, under the wing of Soprano, has climbed the ranks to the semi-final, is preparing to captivate the audience with her talent musical, nourished since the age of 6 by singing and piano lessons. Furthermore, the young artist uses her free time to pursue a career as a model, adding an additional string to her ambitious bow.
