Quentin Mosimann

Quentin Mosimann was the winner of the seventh edition of French American Idol-like TV show Star Academy. There he performed with elaborate showmanship and developed his blend of jazz and electronica , performing Taxi Girl's hit "Cherchez le Garçon" in two separate versions, a jazzy one and an electronic one, on his first EP outing in early summer of 2008. He went on with that two-sided singer concept on his first LP, Duel, released in August 2008 by cutting the records in two distinct halves. Duel was rewarded by a gold record by the end that same year.
