A well-known French singer and composer named Bilal Hassani is attempting to make a name for herself in the music business. Additionally, a YouTuber, Bilal frequently posts new videos to her channel.
In the Destination Eurovision final, the songwriter received 200 points and went on to represent France at the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest in Israel with the song “Roi.” Hassani finished the Eurovision final in sixteenth place after receiving 105 points.
The vocalist’s first studio album, “Kingdom,” was released on April 26 by the music company “Low Wood,” and it peaked at number 24 on the “French Albums Chart.”
In addition to the albums he has put out, Bilal is also known for his non-album singles, including “Heaven with You,” “Mash Up,” “Hot City,” and “House Down.”
On Wednesday night, Bilal Hassani was supposed to play in Metz, a city in the north. But the musician had to postpone her performance.
The last-minute musical postponement, according to the event’s organizers, was brought on by Catholic activists who referred to it as “profanity.”
Hassani, Bilal’s parents
The singer was born on September 9, 1999, in Orsay, France, to Bilal Hassani’s parents.
A Moroccan family with roots in Casablanca reared the vocalist. Even though Bilal’s mother, Amina Fruhauf, is a French citizen, her father lives in Singapore. Taha, Hassani’s older brother, was born in 1995, and the two were her childhood friends.

Bilal started singing at the age of five. Then, Bilal Hassani’s parents enrolled her in a singing lesson, where she developed as a singer.
Hassani was persuaded to take part in the second season of the popular French TV program in 2015 by his friend Nemo Schiffman, a finalist in the first season of “The Voice Kids.” Schiffman was Hassani’s mentor. She went along with Schiffman’s advice and participated in “The Voice Kids.”
Bilal’s performance of Conchita Wurst’s “Rise Like a Phoenix” at the auditions earned him a spot in the competition. He had Patrick Fiori, a French vocalist, as his coach the entire time.
