Marine became a star thanks to the Star Academy. On January 25, 2025, Marine, 24 years old, won the famous talent show against Ebony. Since then, projects have been flowing for the singer from the North. Her debut album, “Cœur maladroit,” was a huge success, surpassing 100,000 copies sold in France at the beginning of the year. Last October 31, the 25-year-old also won the NRJ Music Award for French Female Revelation of the Year. “I am so happy. I didn’t really believe it. At the last minute, I wasn’t feeling it because it was stressful, but I am actually very happy,” she confessed in an interview with NRJ. But it hasn’t been easy for the singer of “Ma faute.”
Fact Check: The Star Academy was a reality TV singing competition that aired in various countries.
Marine failed the blind auditions of The Voice Kids in 2014 when she was 14 years old. Despite her performance, she did not make it past the blind auditions. In an interview on Cstar, she recalled her destabilizing experience: “I started singing a verse, a chorus, and I realized they were not going to turn around. I sang the song and no one turned around. Drama. I tried to keep a positive attitude and not cry on TV,” she explained.
Context: The Voice Kids is a spin-off of the popular singing competition show The Voice.
Despite this setback, Marine Delplace didn’t give up and is now a prominent figure in the French music scene. After re-releasing her debut album and extending her tour, she will release a documentary on April 22nd, “À la maison,” which delves into her intense and emotional year post-Star Academy. “I share so many things with you that I wanted to show you a bit of the behind-the-scenes of this life, from my exit from the Star Academy to my first tour, including the initial ideas, creating the album in the studio, questions, meetings, rehearsals, etc.,” she explained in an Instagram video posted on April 15. This new project is sure to please all her fans.
