This is what you could call a crazy year. Just a year ago, the public discovered him as an endearing candidate in season 11 of “Star Academy”. Today, he is one of the most popular artists of his generation. In just a few months, Pierre Garnier has become a real phenomenon: led by the hits “Ceux qu'on suis” and “Nous on sais”, his first album “Every second” has already sold 181,000 copies (that's more that the last Taylor Swift !) and he has just launched his big tour, which will take him to the biggest French venues, including the Accor Arena in Paris. To crown this crazy year, he has just received two nominations for the Victoires de la Musique 2025: Male Revelation and Original Song of the Year for “Ceux qu’on été”.

“I keep experiencing incredible things”
Questioned behind the scenes of the Victoires press conference, Pierre Garnier recognizes that this coronation is “ just crazy » : « I didn't expect to be nominated for the Victoires de la Musique. When I found out, I was all alone in the car so I screamed silently. I'm very happy: it's an accomplishment in this crazy year. I keep experiencing incredible things and I didn't think I would be the target of the Victoires de la Musique, coming from a telecrochet like the “Star Academy”. And finally I'm here! “. Because for the 22-year-old Norman artist, this double nomination is a way of proving that he is not a “TF1 product”, a label that is roughly attached to the artists of said TV show like Jenifer or Nolwenn Leroy. “ I am very happy to come from that and to succeed in being named among artists like Alyocha Schneider or Lucky Love, who are very talented and who have a very different universe from mine, who am a “Star Ac product” » he attests, “ very happy to have these two caps » : « For me, music is universal! I am happy to be part of all these universes ».
-“I finally managed to do what I wanted”
Pierre Garnier is therefore having a completely crazy start to the year. At our microphone, he also talks about the start of his tour, an experience that he lived in the most beautiful way. “ It was great! Of course, I had already done the “Star Academy” tour but this is a little different. It was a Zénith tour, we were all together and we didn't sing our songs. There, it was really me who did everything from A to Z, we reworked the songs » analyzes the musician, happy to now be able to stand on his own two feet: “ The public comes to see me and my songs. This is what I wanted to do and I'm finally getting there: performing, singing with people, experiencing a unique moment of an hour and a half. I take as much as I can and it only does me good! ».
The one who has just joined the Enfoirés troupe, “ a very important cause » in his eyes, has already thought about his performance for the Victoires de la Musique in order to charm the public: “ We thought about it. This service must be unique. And above all different from what I have already done, but which still resembles me. It's going to be very nice. I'm really looking forward to it, as I love performing “. See you on February 14 to see him lift one or two trophies!
