Early Life
Yanis Sahraoui was born on 16 September 1988 in Saint-Étienne. He grew up in the neighborhood of Vivaraize, along with his three sisters and his brother. He studied at high school and then went to the university of Notre-Dame Valbernoîte. "I participated in choir at school. Otherwise, I would sing by myself! In 2005, I won a contest and then suddenly I recorded my first song. What’s funny is that I put the video on my blog, but people wouldn’t believe it was me." In 2005, he won a singing contest at Pax in Saint-Etienne, and won a record in a studio where he met Etienne Feed, now his partner and guitarist.
