who is Vassili ?
he began singing around the age of 9 years, enrolled by his mother at a musical school in Rouen, created by Albert and Elizabeth Amsallem.
At 14, Vassili contested in his first singing contest, were he won in singing "Amsterdam" by Jacques Brel (an idol of Vassili).[3] In Vassili's second contest, in front of a full house, he sang "Les Lacs du Connemara" by Michel Sardou; however he did not qualify for the final, despite receiving a standing ovation from the crowd. During the contest, his mother realised how much he enjoyed being on the stage and especially the impact he had on the public, saying "C'est son truc !" ("it's his thing!"). In 2004, Vassili sang in the Coupe de France de la chanson française by winning the contest.[3]

He became famous with his debut album Vincero from 2009, which went double platinum (over 250,000 copies) after a worldwide release.[4] His second album Cantero was released in November 2010. Vassili describes his music style as "lyrical pop".[4]
