The 2024 Paris Olympic Games closed out with a rappelling stunt from actor Tom Cruise, but French singer Yseult stole the show with her rendition of Frank Sinatra’s classic, “I Did it My Way.”
Yseult Marie Onguenet may not be household name in America, so here’s more details on the singer who captivated Olympic Games viewers with her adaptation of an American classic.
Who is Yseult?
Yseult Marie Onguenet, 29 (she will be 30 on August 19), was born in Aisne, France. Although her musical talent was noticeable from a young age, her Cameroonian father did not allow her to make music. Of course, that ultimately pushed her into the music industry.
Yseult rose to fame on the show “Nouvelle Star” after it aired in October 2013. She competed on the show’s finale in February 2014, and although she lost the season to Mathieu Saikaly, Yseult signed to Polydor Records and almost immediately announced an album with French singer Emmanuel da Silva.
