It's in 2015, on the show Dancing with the Stars alongside Denitsa Ikonomova, Loïc Nottet became known to the general French public. Particularly thanks to his legendary performance on the title Chandelier of Sia which is, still today, the most viewed in the history of the show. No wonder the multifaceted artist and his partner won the trophy that year!

Since then, the singer with such a distinctive voice, who represented Belgium at Eurovision the same year, has had a string of successes. His third album, Addictocratewas released in May 2023 and it then toured throughout France, Belgium and Switzerland.
