Barbara Pravi

Barbara Pravi is a French singer-songwriter and actress known for an emotional, theatrical style that draws strongly from the French chanson tradition. She grew up in a multicultural family with Serbian, Iranian, North African Jewish and Polish ancestry.

She became internationally recognised after representing France at the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 with “Voilà.” She finished second, giving France its best Eurovision result since 1991 at the time.

Before Eurovision, Pravi had already established herself as a songwriter. She co-wrote “Bim Bam Toi,” performed by Carla Lazzari at Junior Eurovision 2019, and was involved in writing “J'imagine,” which won Junior Eurovision for France in 2020.

Her debut album, On n'enferme pas les oiseaux, was released in 2021 and reached the French Top 10. Her second album, La Pieva, followed in 2024.

Her best-known songs include “Voilà,” “Louis,” “CHAIR,” “Le jour se lève,” “Je l'aime, je l'aime, je l'aime,” “Lève-toi,” “Bravo,” “Exister,” and “La Pieva (Chez moi).” Spotify currently lists “Voilà” as her leading track, while Apple Music lists “Prière pour reconstruire” as her latest release from March 2026.
