Who is Eliot?
18-year-old Eliot Vassamillet competed in The Voice Belgique in 2018. At his first blind audition, Eliot impressed his coach Slimane by the power, ease and sensitivity of his performance. Later he was noticed by Pierre Dumoulin, composer and leader of the Belgian group “Roscoe”. In January he was confirmed as Belgium’s representative in Eurovision Song Contest 2019.
Pierre Dumoulin has also written Eliot’s Eurovision entry “Wake Up”. In 2017, Dumoulin composed Belgium’s entry “City Light”. He also wrote the lyrics together with performer Blanche. The song finished fourth in the final of the contest.
