Emmanuel Moire dedicated himself to the study of piano and voice, performing regularly. In 2004 he was invited to play the role of Louis XIV in the musical comedy Le Roi Soleil. The show experienced a good run, becoming a national hit, releasing a successful soundtrack, and turning Moire into an overnight celebrity. With the show behind him, he set to work immediately on his debut CD. La Ou Je Pars was well received by French audiences, and the single "Le Sourire" made Billboard's European Hot 100. ~ Evan C.
