Yoann Fréget

He auditioned for the show singing Whitney Houston's 'The Greatest Love of All'[3][4][5][6] with all four judges (Florent Pagny, Jenifer, Louis Bertignac and Garou) turning their chairs, along with a standing ovation from television studio's public.

Only a few months after, Yoann succeeded the audition to integrate the professional ensemble of nearly 100 singers, and quickly became not only one of the very few soloists of the choir, but also the younger one, giving a stirring rendition of 'Amazing Grace' at every concert[10] and touring France with the group for more than 3 years.

[18] His talent was nurtured and enhanced through collaboration with excellent American gospel singers, such as Malik Young, Linda Lee Hopkins, Francine Ealey Murphy, and Tori Robinson.

[19][20] That same year, Yoann also started to conduct his own gospel choir, 'Le Choeur Enchanté'[21] and to give singing workshops all over Europe (England, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Sweden, Austria, etc ... ).

This enabled him to present his music to a whole new audience and captivate new listeners, and to sing, for the first time of his career, as guest in the black community churches, where his performances were overwhelmingly well-received,[27] and where he truly felt home.

Yoann has also had the honor to perform as a background singer for outstanding artists such as Stevie Wonder,[20] Liz McComb, Nicole Slack Jones, Helen Carter, and Marianne Aya Omac.

[32][33] With an incredible rendition of 'The Greatest Love of All',[3] receiving a standing ovation from the studio audience at the middle of the song, Yoann was selected by all four judges to be part of their respective teams.

During his journey on 'The Voice', he covered some of the greatest standards of vocal music, from Pop ('Earth Song'[34]/ Michael Jackson; 'Vole'[35]/ Celine Dion; 'Calling You'[36]/ Jevetta Steele) to Soul ('Man's World'[37]/ James Brown; 'Can You Feel It?

'[41][42] was specially chosen as the worldwide soundtrack for the biggest movie of the year in France (36 million $ budget), 'Beauty and The Beast', directed by Christophe Gans (with Vincent Cassel & Lea Seydoux as first roles).

[49] He has been performing ever since for sold-out shows under his own name in France[50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58] and abroad (Mauritius,[59][60][61] Canada,[62] Belgium,[63] Switzerland, Nigeria,[64] etc ... ), as he has been invited as well to sing with renowned French artists as Nicoletta,[65] or Vladimir Cosma,[66] and for numerous humanitarian galas and fundraising charity events (Eva Longoria's Global Gift Gala, Restos du Coeur Belgique, Les Femmes Dynamisantes de Clarins, Tout le Monde Chante Contre le Cancer, Les Petits Princes, Arthritis, Leurs Voix pour l'Espoir, etc.).

[67][1][68] He has been performing in US in front of crowds of thousands for prestigious venues: renowned churches services (Donnie McClurkin's PFC, Hezekiah Walker LFC, Harlem Kelly's Temple, Pleasant Grove, etc ...[69][70][71]), Gospel music conventions (LAS VEGAS Thomas A. Dorsey's 2017 GMC, James Cleveland's 2017 GMWA[72]), and global events as the Annual Holliday Tree Lighting at Manhattan's Washington Square Park,[73] or the NYC Couture Fashion Week at the renowned Crowne Plaza Times Square Manhattan.

[74][75] On 2 December 2016, Yoann gave his first NYC's sold-out solo concert[76] at one of the most mythical place for Soul Music in Manhattan: 'The Ashford & Simpson's Sugar Bar'.
