Amir is the guest of Europe 1 this Saturday February 4 in the program "There is not only one life in life" to talk about his only-in-stage "Selected", which he plays in this moment at the Marigny theater in Paris.

At the microphone of Isabelle Morizet, the singer, now an actor, confided in his disability.

The interpreter of “I looked for” is indeed deaf in one ear. 

Amir never stop reinventing.

Dentist, he gave up his profession a few years ago to devote himself to his passion: music.

While his loved ones feared for his future, Amir thwarted all their predictions by arriving in the final of the third season of

The Voice. 

Amir was born without an ear canal in his right ear.

His participation in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2016 propelled him to the fore, making him the new French pop star.

But today, the Franco-Israeli singer has discovered a new string to his bow: comedy.

He embodies, on the boards of the Marigny theater, Alfred Nakache, the best French swimmer of the 1940s, deported to Auschwitz.

Invited to Isabelle Morizet's microphone on Saturday February 4 to talk about this overwhelming single-stage, Amir took the opportunity to share some secrets about his dazzling journey.

Little boy, nothing predestined him to become a singer, quite the contrary.

Because Amir was born without an auditory canal in his right ear.

As a teenager, he refused the implantation of a chip in this ear which would certainly have allowed him to really hear.

The singer has indeed always experienced his disability well, as he explains on Europe 1. 

“I was born like this and I am very well”

"I hear in mono and not in stereo," he says.

"I hear everything with only one ear and it has never bothered me to live, to function, to do what I want to do. So, it may be a handicap officially speaking, but not for me. I was born like that and I am very well", continues the star who has even found advantages in his handicap. 

"I sleep very well, better than average because I choose the right side and I even remember studying better and concentrating more easily. When I was in college, I just had to close one ear and and I was isolated from the world”, he explains in front of Isabelle Morizet.

Amir assures him: he doesn't feel like he's missing anything because he's never experienced this famous "something".

“We are happy with what we have,” he concludes philosophically.
