Julien Doré (French pronunciation: [ʒyljɛ̃ dɔʁe]; born 7 July 1982) is a French singer-songwriter, musician and actor.

He is the winner of the fifth season of the television show Nouvelle Star, aired on the French Television M6 channel. He is also the great-great-grandson of Gustave Doré, a well-known illustrator of the 19th century.

Life

[edit]

Doré was born in Alès (Gard, Occitanie), and grew up in Lunel. After taking his baccalauréat littéraire at the college Louis Feuillade, he attended the École des Beaux-Arts of Nîmes for five years. He is the founder of the band Dig up Elvis. In 2006, he created with Guillaume de Molina the project "The Jean d'Ormesson disco suicide", "protean group" which covered pop and disco hits. In June 2007, Doré was voted number one in French Elle Magazine's "15 Sexiest Men" poll. He dated Louise Bourgoin, but the two separated in March 2009.

Nouvelle Star

[edit]

In 2007, Doré was selected at the casting session in Marseille for the fifth season of the music competition Nouvelle Star, where he presented himself with a ukulele. At the beginning, he only participated in the casting to get free publicity for his band. He convinced the jury when he sang "A la faveur de l'automne" (originally by Tété). His most memorable performances and revelations were while singing "Moi... Lolita" (Alizée) and "...Baby One More Time" (Britney Spears), dance music songs, in acoustics. He won the finale against Tigane.
