Yvon Solac, Vianney, Valentin Marceau, Pauline Maserati, and Willy Densey delighted the audience, who eagerly joined in singing the hits of these performers closely connected to the younger generation.

Magazine Espace Prépas
After graduating from SKEMA Business School in 2005, Lili Road initially aimed for an international position alongside an amateur artistic career. During her studies, she performed in charity concerts both in France and abroad. She later joined 3 Suisses, becoming a product purchasing manager, but felt something was missing. Upon the birth of her second child, she took parental leave and reassessed her skills: her caring nature led her towards paramedicine, complementing her artistic sensitivity. She then pursued studies in Art Therapy, resumed performing concerts, engaged in charitable work, and prepared the demos for her upcoming album.
