Biography
Cyril grew up in Dillon, Martinique. While little, other children made fun of him due to his "androgynous voice"[citation needed]. He has been a singer since the age of eight. After finishing high school at the age of 16 and obtaining his degree in English, he participated in the sixth season of Star Academy in 2006, in which he was the winner.
A year later saw the release of his first album titled Jusqu'à moi. The sales of the album were far below those of previous winners of Star Academy.[1] In the first week, the album failed to reach the French top 100 in sales,[2] though in Belgium his single Quelque chose qui m'appartient fared better peaking at 15 in the new year week of 2008.[3]
On 28 August 2010, may be seen in the auditions for the seventh season of The X Factor aired on ITV and obtained three yes from the jury that allows him to qualify for the rest of the show[4] but is eliminated by the jury in the "Boot-Camp".[5]
