It’s not easy to grow up and assert yourself when you’re reduced to being the son or daughter of a personality. Parents raise their children to be ready to thrive on their own in society, but a famous parent can sometimes make it difficult to come out on top and create their own identity.
How to grow up in the shadow of a famous parent? This is the question Bintily Diallo asks in “C’est la vie”.
To better understand the life of those who grow up in the shadow of a parent, Bintily Diallo receives the singer Vanille. His father is none other than the successful singer Julien Clerc. If Vanille has made singing her job today, it has not always been obvious due to the success of her father, to which she was often reduced.
Become a whole being
How to grow up in the shadow of a famous parent and build your identity freely? Vanille Clerc tells her story, the looks and attitude of others at school and her relationship with her father’s fans. She claims to bea whole being“, in one of his songs.
On a daily basis, having a famous parent necessarily entails consequences during the passage from childhood to adulthood: remarks, looks, admiration or, on the contrary, mockery.
The artist Vanille tells you how she managed to create her own musical and artistic identity.
If her songs are of a rather different style from her father’s hits, she nevertheless had the opportunity to recently sing a duet with Julien Clerc, for a cover of the song “Leave me a place“. Quite a symbol for the young artist.
Vanille will perform on September 23 in Cergy or at the Phénix in Valenciennes on October 13 and 15 with the titles of her second album “À partintele” released last year.
