This Saturday, February 26, 2022, the blind auditions revealed many talents, including one, who caught the eye of 18-year-old Léo.
The Voice, it’s also an opportunity to meet your idols. Léo, originally from Montpellier, can testify to this. If the young 18-year-old artist greatly admires Vianney, this was the opportunity to meet him and, in addition, to have him sign his guitar. “I liked Vianney a lot when I was younger. I still admire him today. But it’s true that being up against four, Florent Pagny for example, was great. It’s great to to be able to sing in front of the artists you listen to.”
If Léo was self-taught, he is part of a family of artists. “My mother is a choreographer. My uncle, her brother, is intermittent in the show, thanks to my father I grew up with the guitar, my grandmother sang…” Rocked from a very young age by music in all its forms, his talent for singing, the guitar, but also the piano, he is now perfecting it at the Music Academy International in Nancy. Finished for Léo to sing in secret or, in any case, to make his little secret garden out of sight.
It was there that he was advised to try his luck in The Voice. “The casting director of the show offered me to participate in the editions when he met me at school. I couldn’t refuse.” If this Saturday, February 26, 2022, the four coaches did not return after his performance of to see a friend cry, by Jacques Brel, the experience was unique and Léo has no regrets. Doing blind auditions is already huge. “In fact, I assumed that it was brand new. I was just getting into music. I couldn’t believe it to do The Voice, so participating in blind auditions was already huge. I I was prepared, in fact, for the jurors not to turn around.”

Léo saved by Nolwenn Leroy in The Voice
If the coaches did not turn around, they did not deny Leo’s potential. Besides, Nolwenn Leroy either. The singer couldn’t resist pressing her buzzer to welcome the teenager to her team. “When I was called back to tell me that Nolwenn had me drafted among the 75, I did not believe it at all. It’s not necessarily obvious, because they didn’t choose you, so it’s tricky. But it’s a chance because Nolwenn is a great artist. Then it’s even more exciting to go on stage in these conditions.”
If Leo was not chosen by the four coaches, he expected nothing more and yet the 18-year-old young man continues the adventure The Voice thanks to Nolwenn Leroy.
