The former “The Voice” contestant caught the attention of DJ Kerozen after her cover of the song “La Victoire” was viewed almost 3 million times on social networks.

Many young musicians are struggling, not knowing where to start to get their voices heard. On this path to recognition, talent alone is not enough. Many factors come into play.

In addition to cabarets, which offer a small chance of breaking through, there are, on a larger scale, TV talent shows such as “Island Africa” (production of which has been stopped) and “The Voice”. The latter is a reality show dedicated to music talent and gives voices a chance to be heard. The young Mervy Willy participated in the first season in 2016. Known as Merveille, she captured the attention of the jury with her smooth and controlled voice. Unfortunately, she did not win.

But the doors did not remain closed for her. A few months ago, she decided to offer an acoustic version (just accompanied by a keyboard) of DJ Kerozen’s hit song “La victoire”. Eureka for Mervy Willy’s! His cover got 2.8 million views on Youtube. This performance caught the attention of DJ Kerozen, with whom she made a remix of “La victoire”. This latest version was released a fortnight ago and already has 135 thousand views on Youtube.

This boost from DJ Kerozen may change the course of the young ex-Mervy Willy’s contestant’s career.
