Blanche will represent our country at the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest in Kiev. In the everyday life is called the singer simply Ellie Delvaux. The young girl lay now itself from why they ‘ Blanche ‘ as a stage name. There is apparently a simple and logical explanation for it. ‘ I still can’t believe that I follow in the footsteps of Loïc Nagashima may act ‘, she says in a recently released interview. We have the most important details out.

There are no further details about the song with which Blanche will represent Belgium in Kiev, but thanks to a new interview we come already slightly more about the singer itself. Delvaux does explained why they chose the stage name ‘ Blanche ‘ as: ‘ There are called for so many singers Ellie! Blanche is just My third first name, it’s as simple as that, “she says. ‘ I stand at the beginning of my career and I start from a white sheet (‘ une page blanche ‘ in French). I sing in English, I would still like to add a French touch somewhere. We have such a beautiful language, but I have never Sung. With this special stage name there will always be a ‘ French ‘ vibearound me. And also, I find Blanche very nice sound. I wanted a new and unique name as a singer ‘, explains the young artist from.

Sense in Kiev

The singer has meaning in its participation, that much is for sure: ‘ very hard I look forward to this great adventure. It’s going to be a positive and unique experience! I can still not believe that I follow in the footsteps of Loïc Nagashima may act. It is crazy that I represent an entire nation? ‘, says Blanche. She also hopes to meet artists from other countries.

After the excellent results of Loïc and Laura is there a lot of pressure on the shoulders of the 16-year-old girl, but she is confident: ‘ thanks to The Voice Belgique I know how it is to live in a tv show to act. Suddenly I was standing in the attention. My coaches, Cats on Trees, have helped me tremendously and do grow me as artist. ‘

The next Eurovision should launch the career of Blanche, she has no fear of that (perhaps) eternal ‘ Eurovision-image ‘? ‘ No, not at all. I was already working on some other music projects before I selected. My participation in Kiev which projects only! ‘

The Belgian entry for the 62nd Eurovision Song Contest is as good as ready. In recent weeks, the singer put the finishing touches to the song, along with musician Pierre Dumoulin.
