At just 14 years old, Josh Duvergé has already made a decision that changes the trajectory of his life. Born to a mason father, Patrick, and a stay-at-home mother, Dany, he is the second of three children. This teenager, who left school after his third year of college to devote himself to his passion, music, is creating a real buzz on social networks, particularly on TikTok. His good humor and talent have won the hearts of many Internet users, who all hope that he can make a name for himself in the field.
Since the age of 8, Josh has developed an unwavering passion for music. This has led him to cover songs in all languages and post them on his TikTok page since last year. It started after he discovered the application thanks to a friend. The latter had posted a video and several people quickly reacted. That’s when the idea germinated in Josh’s head. He told his accomplices, Janilo Labonne, 13, and Darren Chinien, 15. They decided to compile songs for Josh to cover. While Darren filmed the scene, Janilo accompanied his friend by making sounds by tapping his chest. Quickly, his videos captured attention, creating a real craze online. Internet users can’t help but smile when watching his performances, his good humor is so contagious.
Apart from music and football, Josh has boundless admiration for Alain Narainsamy, an artist he considers his role model. This admiration pushes him to surpass himself in his covers and to put all his energy into each performance, hoping to one day have the same success. *“Mo kamarad Darren rod bann sante pou mwa, mo repete li parey lerla.” *In several of his videos, we see him singing Hindustani songs without any difficulty.
Although his choice to leave school may have worried his parents at first, they quickly understood how important his passion was to him. They saw in him a beacon of hope, a talented boy who, despite the difficulties, chose to follow his heart.
