The 2024 Paris Olympics wrapped up in grand style, but one moment stood out in a night filled with stars. While the closing ceremony was packed with big names like Tom Cruise and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, it was French singer Yseultwho stole the show with her soulful rendition of Frank Sinatra's "My Way."
Forget the glitz and glamour; Yseult's performance didn't need any high-tech gimmicks to shine. The French singer captivated the audience with just her voice, leaving a lasting impression that no one saw coming. As the final notes of her song echoed through Stade de , a spectacular fireworks display lit up the sky, sealing the moment in Olympic history.
Yseult may not be a name that rings a bell in every household, especially in the States, but after her show-stopping performance, that's about to change. The Paris-born artist brought the house down, making sure her name is one people will long after the last Olympic flame flickered out.
From Aisne to stardom: Yseult's unlikely rise to fame
At 29, soon to be 30, Yseult's journey to stardom wasn't exactly smooth. Raised in Aisne, , she discovered her musical talent early on, but her Cameroonian father wasn't keen on her pursuing a career in music. Of course, that only fueled her ion, pushing her to break into the industry against all odds.
Her big break came on the French show "Nouvelle Star" back in 2013. Though she didn't win the competition, finishing as the runner-up, Yseult quickly landed a record deal with Polydor and dropped her debut album soon after, teaming up with French singer Emmanuel da Silva.
Yseult's debut single, "La Vague," made waves on the internet, racking up over a million views by the end of 2020. But music isn't her only gig-she's also made her mark in the fashion world, starting with a modeling campaign for ASOS in 2018. By 2021, she was an international spokesperson for L'Oreal.
Recently, Yseult's musical journey has taken a new turn. She lent her voice to Iranian-Dutch singer Sevdaliza's track "Alibi," proving she's far from done making an impact in the music scene. After her Olympic moment, the world is watching to see what this multi-talented artist does next.
