The stage was quiet. The red chairs faced away. The lights dimmed. Then, a voice filled the room — rich, raw, and overflowing with emotion.

It was Stolt, an unknown name to most before his blind audition on The Voice France 2024. But within seconds of starting James Brown’s legendary song “It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World”, he had captured not just the coaches’ attention, but the hearts of everyone watching.

This wasn’t just a good cover. It was a full-body, soul-deep experience.

Not Just a Voice — A Story

Stolt isn’t your typical rising pop star. By day, he’s a pharmacy student and a mechanical quality controller — serious, focused, methodical. But on that stage, none of that mattered. He stood in a simple white T-shirt, no theatrics, no flash — just heart. And when he sang, it felt like we were hearing someone’s truth.

James Brown’s original version of the song was filled with soul and sadness. It’s a song about masculinity, vulnerability, and everything in between. And somehow, Stolt made it feel brand new. His voice was textured, vulnerable, and gritty all at once — like it carried the weight of stories he hadn’t yet told.

All four coaches turned their chairs. They knew they were witnessing something rare: not just talent, but connection. You could see the goosebumps. One coach leaned back, stunned. Another placed a hand over her heart.

Stolt didn’t need vocal tricks. He just sang — honestly, painfully, beautifully.

What Happened Next?

Following his unforgettable audition, Stolt joined Team Zazie, one of the show’s most respected coaches. He continued to shine during the cross-battles, performing a haunting version of “Jealous” by Labrinth. The performance was just as powerful — delicate yet intense, filled with quiet heartbreak.

He proved he wasn’t a one-song wonder. This was a real artist in the making.

As of now, Stolt hasn’t released any solo material publicly, but fans are already eager for more. Social media lit up with reactions after his performances, many calling him “the voice of the season” and “an artist to watch.”

Why He Stands Out

Stolt doesn’t try to be perfect — and that’s exactly why he connects. In an industry filled with polished performances, his raw energy is refreshing. He reminds us that music isn’t just about notes and pitch. It’s about truth. It’s about feeling something real.

And when Stolt sings, you feel it.
