Slimane Nebchi

Slimane Nebchi, Slimane, is a French singer born in Chelles, France. He grew up in a family where music was an integral part of life, and he started singing and writing texts at the age of 12. When he moved to Paris at 19 years old, he worked at any job he could find, such as bar waiter or underwear salesman, to hardly achieve to pay his rent. Financial hard times were so difficult that he started considering quitting his singing aspirations. In 2016 he took part in season 5 of The Voice, France, and won the final on Saturday 15 May 2016. His new popularity allowed him to rediscover the song "Le Vide", a track he wrote after the Bataclan Theatre terrorist attack, in Paris, France, in November 2015. Slimane's debut album, entitled "A bout de rêves", was announced for 8 July 2016.
