Is Chimène Badi going to hang up the microphone? The singer confided in an interview that there is another job, far from show business, that has been catching her eye for a long time.
A career that has lasted for more than 20 years: the singer, now 41 years old, has lived through several eras and can boast of still being here while so many others have fallen into oblivion. Chimène Badi, discovered by the general public in 2002 during her participation in the show Pop stars, on M6, does she plan to sing for a long time? Answer!
Difficult times for Chimène Badi
Very happy to have taken the path of music quite early in her life, Chimène Badi however recently admitted to Nice Morning that even if his “biggest dream was to sing“, she didn’t just have this desire for a professional career, which could seem complicated to her.”I have projects that have nothing to do with music, that are private. Afterwards, I often find myself saying that I would like, one day perhaps, to have a flower shop, because I really like flowers.“.
But the performer of the hits Between Us And I come from the south does not regret his musical career.It’s been 22 years since this dream began“, she explains before qualifying on the world of music. “With years where it has become a nightmare (…) But for two years it has been a big dream again, and I am fighting so that my dream continues.” Rather reassuring for his fans.
Chimène Badi very close to her fans
After separating from her partner Julien in 2023 – a musician who had shared her life for 8 years – the singer was able to count on her fans, of whom she is “quite close“. After her concerts, Chimène Badi often takes the time to chat with them.”It’s quite easy, because I like to chat with people after the shows, when I’m not exhausted (…) After the shows, I go out, I go see people a little, I chat with them, we take photos, they give me a little of their opinion too.”
According to the singer, this moment is a need for her admirers: “It’s not something that bothers me, or that I have trouble managing. It’s necessary for me to communicate with them. And to remain natural.” As a reminder, Chimène Badi’s latest album, entitled Chimène sings Piaf the complete collectionwas released last year. Since then, she has been defending it on stage all over France.
