Wednesday, 15 December 2021

  • Junior Eurovision 2021 rehearsals Day 2 at La Seine Musicale in Paris concludes with the tenth act on stage coming from France, Enzo.

    Junior Eurovision 2021 rehearsals in Paris progressed to Day 2 with the rest 10 out of the 19 competing acts taking the stage to rehearse their entries for the first time in La Seine Musicale, the concert hall that will host this year's Junior Eurovision Song Contest. Namely Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Albania, Ukraine, North Macedonia, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Serbia, Russia and France were the countries that had their first rehearsals.

    Last but not least to rehease for the first time today was the host nation's representative, Enzo. The French delegate will be performing 'Tic Tac' in Sunday's live show appearing 13th on the stage. 

    Enzo takes the stage dressed all in white clothes with a sparkling dark gold blaser above them. A spectacular show unfolds on stage featuring a big pocketwatch on the backdrop and a huge golden staircase that leads Enzo and his dancers to a higher level.  The French organisers have done a marvellous job for their representative!

     

    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. In his blind audition he impressed Soprano who turned round with Enzo joining her team and achieving to make it to the finals. Enzo made it all the way to 2020 The Voice Kids finals on October 10.
