A few years back, a video emerged of a young Belgian singer called Loïc Nottet belting out Sia‘s song, ‘Chandelier‘. The video rapidly began to gain traction online subsequently causing it to sky-rocket to viral acclaim. Now with over 8 million views on YouTube, it’s time to explore the impact this one video has had on the young singer’s life.
Prior to his rise to fame, Nottet has stated in interviews he was bullied for having a “girly” voice instead of a manly one. Now, the breakthrough artist has since reached the second place in the final of the third season of The Voice Belgique and appeared in the Eurovision Song Contest representing Belgium.
Nottet has now released his debut album, Selfocracy, via Sony with his hit single, ‘Million Eyes‘, garnering over 26 million plays on YouTube alone. The song was nationally acclaimed resulting in it reaching certified gold status in both Belgium and France.
