A year ago, Julien Lieb faced Pierre Garnier in the “Star Academy” final. And the singer from Pau has no regrets about not having won the TF1 show. “ I met some crazy people, I learned a lot, I gained years of experience in a very short time. I also discovered the love I have for the stage. Now I know I couldn't live without it » confides to the Purecharts microphone the one who is currently defending the single “Le Jeu” and puts his voice on the charity song “Les p'tits soleils”, as part of the new Yellow Pieces campaign. Moreover, the 25-year-old artist is delighted with the success of his friend Pierre Garnier, twice nominated for the Victoires de la Musique 2025. “ When you do a show like “Star Academy”, you create connections that you can't create otherwise and you keep them for the rest of your life. Maybe we're losing a little sense of success because what happened with our promotion is crazy, but it's going very well and not just for me: Hélé, Lénie, Candice, Victorien …It’s exceptional what’s happening to us » he assures on the airwaves of RTL.
