The juror of
The Voice looks
back on his career and tackles the Parisian press who despise his work.
In an interview with
Figaro
, Mr. Pokora, Matthieu Tota of his real name, who made his debut with the boy-band Linkup, is sorry that we do not always recognize his talent.
“90% of my audience lives in the provinces”
“In 2003 when I won the Popstars
tele-hook on M6, I could have been just a marketing product.
I had no credibility.
It's true.
But today ?
Nobody does what I do on stage and right-thinking critics don't recognize that talent.
»
And to resume: “I know perfectly well that 90% of my audience lives in the provinces.
He is proud of it.
His latest album of Claude François covers,
My Way
, sold 500,000 copies and his My Way tour was a hit.
Only the recognition of his audience is important to him.
