In an interview given to Parisianthe one who also won the competition “Beijing Express”on M6in 2022, admits: “It’s wonderful to be recognized for your talent, your work.

It’s as if I had studied medicine and that now I had become a highly recognized doctor, like Dr Mamour in Grey’s Anatomy (laughs)”.
Because before hoping to fill a room of 12,000 people – it will be June 17, in Bercy, therefore – Inès Reg “it struggled in its early days to fill rooms with 100 seats” ! remind our colleagues.

One after that she owes to her self-confidence, in addition to luck. Also, Inès Reg ensures: “I was told it was going to be just a buzz, I was convinced deep inside me of the opposite, I had to seek strength. I am very proud to say today: Look, I was not mistaken.
