Bilal Assani is a 19—year-old French singer and video blogger, of Moroccan origin. He became widely known thanks to the songs and videos that he published on his YouTube channel.

Bilal's love for music appeared in his early childhood. From the age of five, the boy studied singing, and in 2015 he won the French talent show Voice, where he performed Conchita Wurst's song "Rise Like a Phoenix".

This is what Bilal's performance on the show looked like. At one time, it was with this composition that an extraordinary artist, who is often called a "Bearded Woman", won the Eurovision Song Contest.

The jury rated Bilal's performance at 50 points, another 150 points were brought by the audience. As a result, the guy took first place among eight contestants and will now represent France in the Eurovision 2019 final, which will be held in Tel Aviv on May 18.
