THE

FIGARO.

- How did you end up in France in this season 12 of “The Voice”?


Giulia Falcone.

-

Production came to get me.

Since 2020, I have been posting videos of my covers on my social networks, especially songs in French which have earned me a lot of positive feedback from people who follow me.

I accepted the proposal to participate in "The Voice" because I have this strong link with France through my covers and my community.

You are Italian and you live in Italy, how come you speak French so well?


I was born in Florence and I live next to the Cinque Terre by the sea, in northern Italy.

I started studying French in college around the age of 11, I improved thanks to singing and my exchanges with French people.

I still make mistakes but I try to do my best.

Is this your first attempt at a casting of this magnitude?


Yes, it's even the first time that I sing on stage in front of an audience.

When I started to sing around the age of 10, I had the opportunity to face a few people, I won small competitions but it is out of proportion with a TV show like “The Voice”.

"Sharon Stone wrote that I had the most beautiful voice she had ever heard"

Giulia Falcone

How did you fall in love with music and singing?


I have always loved music, I listened to it from an early age.

The singing happened by chance, performing in front of a few people.

And I wanted to continue.

I have always been attracted by artistic activities, I practiced dance for several years and singing came to be added.

What are you doing for studies?


I am in a linguistic high school, I am learning English and Spanish in addition to Italian.

And I study classical subjects like history and mathematics.

At the same time, I study music and singing to improve myself.

I am learning to play piano and guitar.

Your covers published on the Internet had an unexpected success...


It started in May 2020 with

I am sick

by Serge Lama which I had published on my Facebook page then on YouTube and Instagram.

I had a lot of feedback with this video.

The success that my cover of

SOS d'un

Terran en distress

was able to have afterwards (several million views, editor's note), is thanks to the sharing of all these people who appreciated my work.

In particular the American actress Sharon Stone who relayed my video in her stories on Instagram, I was very touched.

She had written in comment that I had the most beautiful voice she has ever heard.

It was so amazing!

"I did not immediately notice that Bigflo and Oli had turned around"

Giulia Falcone

Why did you choose the title

The blower's daughter

by Damien Rice for your blind audition?


I hesitated, I thought I would defend another song but I was happy that it was this one.

I really like the text and the melody, the whole gives a lot of emotions.

I was happy to be able to make my first on a big stage with such a pretty song.

How did you feel during your performance?


(Laughs.) It was amazing, before going on set, I had good stress, even though my heart was beating very hard and I had trouble breathing.

When the video wall lifted and I walked over to the microphone, I calmed down.

I enjoyed and appreciated the minutes I was able to spend singing on stage.

Were you relieved to see Bigflo and Oli's chair turn around after more than a minute?


At the time, I didn't notice it because we don't have the sound of the buzz like the viewers during our blind audition.

I had my eyes closed at that time.

When I looked up, I suddenly saw them both in front of me and I understood that I was taken.

Amel arrived at the very end.

“If Vianney had turned around, I would certainly have chosen him”

Giulia Falcone

Why did you prefer Amel Bent to Bigflo and Oli?


I was very happy with the opinion they were able to have on my song, they were very sensitive to the artistic aspect.

I hesitated.

I chose Amel Bent because I watched her when she was a juror in "The Voice Kids" and I had this reassuring little memory of her work.

I wanted to move forward with her.

And if Zazie and Vianney had turned around...


The song by Damian Rice that I interpreted is close to the universe of Vianney.

He complimented me after my performance, telling me that I had a beautiful voice and good vocal technique.

He didn't turn around because he has a special love for the original version of

The Blower's Daughter

and he expected something different.

I liked his sincerity and I would certainly have gone to him if I could have chosen him.

He is a very sensitive artist.

What are your artistic projects on the sidelines of your participation in "The Voice"?


With Davide Esposito, my manager, we write and compose new songs together.

I was lucky enough to sign a publishing contract and Carla Bruni wrote me two songs.

I met her in Paris, we discussed and worked around these two texts.

I am really happy with this great opportunity.

The project I'm working on, with songs in English, French and Italian, is very fulfilling.

I hope people will like my songs.

Davide Esposito told us that Giulia Falcone's musical project would be

"full of beautiful surprises and artistic collaborations"

to

"create the best possible repertoire"
