Alyosha Schneider and Charlotte Cardin: A Power Couple Redefining Success in French music
In the heart of Paris, where art and romance intertwine, Alyosha Schneider and France, with Schneider headlining the iconic Olympia and Cardin filling the Zéniths. “We realise that it doesn’t make sense,” Schneider admits with a smile during a Zoom interview from Paris.
Their journey to stardom has been nothing short of extraordinary. Schneider recently received three nominations at the Victoires de la Musique,France’s equivalent of the ADISQ Gala,in categories including Song of the Year and Male Revelation. “The label had entered me in three categories. I was crossing my fingers to get one, but I really didn’t expect three,” he shares.
The couple’s success reached a crescendo in December when they performed back-to-back in two legendary Parisian venues. Schneider took the stage at the Olympia on December 5, followed by Cardin at the Zénith the next day. “We sang together both evenings. She sang with patrick Watson,there was angèle who arrived,Maro,all artists that I admire. Me, at the Olympia, I sang with my brothers. These are truly unforgettable moments,” Schneider recalls.
The Song That Changed Everything
At the heart of Schneider’s rise to fame is his hit song Ensemble, a ballad that resonated deeply with audiences. The track, which explores the challenges of long-distance relationships, was born during a pivotal moment in his life. “it’s a song about long-distance relationships, something I was clearly experiencing at the time,” he explains.
The song’s creation was a collaborative effort with his producer, Marc-André Gilbert, who pushed Schneider to delve into his personal experiences. “Marc-André pushed me to go directly into what I was experiencing.Usually, I like to stay vague enough so that it’s not a diary, but here I decided to go deep into my private life,” Schneider reveals.
Despite initial doubts about its commercial potential, Ensemble became a radio sensation and even featured in an SNCF advertising campaign. “Very good visibility,” Schneider acknowledges.
The Power of French Lyrics
Schneider’s decision to switch from English to French lyrics on his third album proved to be a game-changer. “The change was immediate,” he says. previously influenced by American folk, he struggled to adapt his style to French. “I found it difficult to render it in French. It was more work, I had to relearn all the writing codes, but once I succeeded, I felt like I had something unique in my hands,” he reflects.
this shift not only set him apart but also solidified his place in the French music scene.
A Publicized Love Story
The couple’s relationship has naturally drawn media attention, with the French press eager to spotlight their love story. They made a rare television appearance together ahead of the Victoires de la Musique nominations but have no plans to make it a regular occurrence. “We said to ourselves, we’ll make a television show and that’ll be it, because we don’t want to play too much on that. we each have our careers. But the media sure like it,” schneider says.
