Ycare, born Boris Tchounga, is a French-Cameroonian singer-songwriter who first gained attention as a finalist on *Star Academy* (Season 4) in 2005. Since transitioning from reality TV to a full-fledged artistic career, he’s carved out a niche with his poetic, theatrical style blending chanson française, pop, and world music influences. Based in Bordeaux, Ycare crafts soul-baring lyrics that explore identity, love, and existential musings, delivered with his signature raspy vocals and flamboyant stage presence. Recent releases like *Dans mes bras* and *Le fou et le roi* showcase his knack for dramatic orchestral arrangements and emotional candor, while tracks like *Chamallow* and *La marelle* reveal a playful, genre-fluid side. His work often feels like a cabaret act for the modern era—equal parts introspective and extravagantly theatrical.
