Anne Peichert (born November 26, 1996), known by her stage name Louane Emera or simply Louane, is a well-known French singer and actress. She became famous in France after reaching the semi-finals of The Voice: la plus belle voix in 2013. Internationally, she is recognized for her role in the 2014 movie La Famille Bélier. For this role, she won the César Award for Most Promising Actress, which is a big award in French cinema. In 2022, she also played a main character in the French TV series Beyond Signs (Visions).

Early Life

Anne Peichert grew up in Pas-de-Calais, France, with her four sisters and one brother. Her father, Jean-Pierre Peichert, was French, and her mother, Isabel Pinto dos Santos, was Portuguese.

When she was 11, in 2008, Louane took part in L'École des stars, a French music competition shown on TV.

Louane was diagnosed with ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) when she was eight. She has shared that her parents taught her a lot about being disciplined, always treating her with love.

Sadly, Louane lost both of her parents when she was a teenager. She dedicated her performance of "Imagine" on The Voice to her father, who had passed away just three months before. Her mother died in 2014 after being ill for a long time.

Career

Music Journey

In 2013, Louane had her big break when she joined the second season of The Voice: la plus belle voix. She sang "Un homme heureux" by William Sheller for her audition. All four coaches, Florent Pagny, Jenifer, Louis Bertignac, and Garou, wanted her on their team. She chose to join Team Louis Bertignac.

During the show, she performed songs like "Torn" by Natalie Imbruglia and "Les moulins de mon cœur" by Michel Legrand. She was saved by public votes several times. She also sang "Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen. Her performance of "Imagine" was very emotional and helped her move forward. However, she was eliminated in the semi-finals after singing "Quelqu'un m'a dit" by Carla Bruni.

On February 5, 2015, Louane was the opening act for Jessie J's concert in Paris.

Her first studio album, Chambre 12, was released on March 2, 2015, and became very successful. Her song "Avenir" even reached the top of the French music charts.

In 2017, she sang on the song "It Won't Kill Ya" from The Chainsmokers' album, Memories...Do Not Open.

On September 1, 2021, Louane released the song "Game Girl" for Pokémon 25. The name of the song is a fun play on words, like "Game Boy."
