“You’re screwed”, this warning from Jenifer after her victory in The Voice in 2014

New start for Kendji Girac! After almost losing his life in a terrible accident, the singer decided to start fresh. Now, the former winner of The Voice adopts a new lifestyle and spends more time with his family. A more authentic way of life and closer to your emotions. But Kendji Girac was also able to count on the support of his friend Vianney to help him express all of this in his Music.

“Stay in the studio, sing my feelings”Vianney asked him while he was in full convalescence. “My friend Vianney was able, as usual and for years, to surround me, find the words, what I wanted to say. Because I am someone who does not reveal himself easily,” he reveals in the show In Aside. And if today Kendji Girac is comfortable in front of the cameras, this was not always the case.

This warning from Jenifer to Kendji Girac

In 2014, Kendji Girac was only 18 years old when he won the third season of The Voice. “I just wanted to go there, not to win but to see what it was like. TV scared me, I was extremely stressed but I wanted people to hear me sing, I wanted to have likes on my Facebook”, he confides to Éric Jean-Jean in The Grand Studio RTL.

And when Éric Jean-Jean asks him if he has ever had imposter syndrome like Julien Doré, Kendji Girac answers no. On the other hand, there was one thing he feared: the interviews! And Jenifer did not try to reassure him, quite the contrary. The latter told him: “You're screwedmy guy, you're going to do interview after interview. She shocked me!“, he remembers.

Kendji Girac and his difficulties expressing himself in French

And if Kendji Girac feared interviews so much, it's because the singer struggled to express himself in French. Accustomed to speaking in Catalan with those close to him, he did not master the language of Molière. “I was afraid to express myself, I made French mistakes, so it put pressure on me,” he confides to Éric Jean-Jean.

The singer therefore decided to take the bull by the horns and learn to master French. To achieve this, he did not hesitate to ask his friends how a particular word was said. Although he still admits to making mistakes today, both orally and in writing, the singer no longer fears speaking in front of the cameras. This subject being sensitive for him, he even agreed to play in the TV film Champion which deals precisely with illiteracy. A great proof of combativeness!
