If the singer Vianney is guided by his faith in God, there is also a very real man who counts for a lot in his way of life…
Author, composer, performer and lyricist, Vianney has managed, in a few years, to conquer the hearts of the French with many themes such as love, separation, solitude or even family… In 2024, he even won the male artist award at the Victoires de la Musique. And if the 33-year-old singer is a hit in music, he remains much more discreet on the private life side.
He has just lifted the veil, a little, on part of his family.
Vianney: freedom of expression as a rule of life?
When Vianney writes, he probably keeps his freedom of expression in mind. “All the humans who watch us just want to be free. We get used to freedoms, we trivialize them, but in today’s world, we are extremely free.“, he confided in an interview in the World of Elodie Suigo on France Info.
This need for freedom does not come to him from nowhere. “I am the grandson of a resistance fighter. Freedom is something that is sacred in our family and it costs money. You have to put your fears aside“, assures the singer of the songs I’m leaving et Father-in-law. “It is more complicated to seek freedom, but we must fight, whatever the scale of the fight, there are plenty. We must never forget that freedom is sacred,” adds this practicing Catholic and son of soldiers.
Vianney: guided by his grandfather?
Vianney has never hidden his love for his grandfather, now deceased, to whom he dedicated a song. He played a key role in his education and passed on to him essential values such as discipline, respect and rigor. The singer and father of a little boy – Edgar, fruit of his marriage to the musician Catherine Robert – often speaks of his grandfather with great affection and respect, describing him as a source of inspiration in his personal and professional life.
“He was a character from a novel, a dream grandfather. With his grandchildren, he had a desire to pass on his knowledge, he wanted to equip us for life. He was very hard-working, with a taste for things done well. In the street, he said hello to everyone. My grandfather had the ambition to be a good person. His values guide me.”he confided in the columns of Our Time.
