Bilal started singing at the age of 5 in front of his family and later began taking singing lessons. In 2015 Bilal Hassani participated in the second season of The Voice Kids presenting himself in the blind auditions with the Eurovision Song Contest winner Rise Like a Phoenix by Conchita Wurst. He joined the team of Patrick Fiori, the French participant in Eurovision in 1993.
Last December, Bilal was confirmed among the eighteen candidates participating in Destination Eurovision, with the song Roi, a song about self-acceptance co-written with Madame Monsieur. After having been crowned as 'Roi' he will represent France at the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest's Grand Final, as members of the Big 5, in Tel Aviv, Israel on May 18th, 2019.


France participated in the very first Eurovision Song Contest in 1956. placed in the top five in the first ten years of the Eurovision Song Contest. France is known around the world for its cuisine, fashion, language and culture.

Although a song in French won the very first Eurovision Song Contest, Refrain, it represented Switzerland, It wouldn’t take long for France to catch up as the first three of France’s five victories in the Eurovision Song Contest were achieved in the very early years and by 1969 their record of four wins was unmatched.
In 1977 France won the Eurovision Song Contest for the fifth, and to date the last time. The song L'Oiseau Et L'Enfant was performed by Marie Myriam, and her victory meant a new record in Eurovision Song Contest history.

One placing that France had never got in the ranking was the last place… until 2014 when the band Twin Twin came 26th and last in the Grand Final with Moustache. In 2016 France returned to the Top 10, and in the charts, with Amir and J’ai Cherché which narrowly missed a place in the top five in Stockholm.
