The 22-year-old singer was last year’s winner of the reality TV competition Star Academy (France’s long-running American Idol equivalent), but Pierre Garnier’s reach extends much further than French prime-time TV. His debut single, “Ceux qu’on était” (which translates to “who we were”), went viral upon its release in February, spending nearly half the year among the top songs recognized on Shazam in his home country. The raspy-voiced singer released his ballad-heavy first album, Chaque Seconde, in November, and he’ll start the new year off with his first-ever tour.
