    A few words for Enzo

    Enzo Hilaire, a big football and Mbappé fan, has been singing since he was little. A Year 7 student at Discovery College, Enzo started singing when he was just two-years-old and hasn’t stopped since. 

    Enzo was born in France to Francois, a pilot, and Moroccan-French mum Fatima, but landed in Macau at six months, living there until the family relocated to Cheung Sha when he was seven.

    Though he got distracted by football at age six (his second career choice), a few years back, he discovered rap thanks to his brother who made him listen to Eminem and other rappers. And as the young boy wants to be like his brother, he also begins to sing and rap. For him, rap is “crazy” because he can jump anywhere, let go. 

    The casting team of The Voice Kids France spotted him on YouTube and invited him to a Skype audition, where he won his ticket to ‘the blinds’ in Paris. Enzo made it all the way to 2020 The Voice Kids finals on October 10, and he describes his time on the show with infectious enthusiasm. “It was incredible,” he says. “I learnt so many new vocal capabilities, and so many new techniques. It was an amazing journey and experience. In his blind audition he impressed Soprano who turned round with Enzo joining her team and achieving to make it to the finals.
