INTERVIEW
"Hi, it's Renaud, the singer".
It is thanks to a phone call from singer to singer that Gauvain Sers will do the opening parts of Renaud.
First hired for 10 dates, he will finally make 75. A precious memory that launched his career, as he told Wednesday at the microphone of Anne Roumanoff and her band in the program
It feels good.
"It is he who called me directly, with his very particular voice", remembers the young singer, who at first believed in a joke of a friend.

"Renaud had come across one of my songs a bit by chance, the song

, and he liked it a lot," he says.
"He wanted to listen to a second one, and half an hour later he called me. It was pretty crazy."
"If that happened to me today, I would freak out a lot more"
Renaud's decision is all the more surprising as he takes it three days before his concert at the Zénith. "I didn't have too much time to understand what was going on that we were already playing," smiles Gauvain Sers. But the singer still has time to worry a little. "When I passed on a pedestrian crossing, I looked 45 times to the right and to the left so as not to be run over, because I did not want to miss this moment!", He laughs.
Gauvain Sers also believes that he embarked on these first parts with "a lot of recklessness". "If that happened to me today, I would freak out a lot more," he imagines. "But there was a lot of benevolence and attention from the audience, which is not always the case in the first part. In addition, Renaud introduced me before we played. From behind the scenes, he took the microphone with there is a little text like that which was very touching. "
