Jeremie Makiese is a Belgian singer and soccer player. He gained popularity after participating in the musical project The Voice Belgique. In 2021 he became the winner of the show.
In 2022, it became known that Jeremy will represent Belgium at the Eurovision international music contest. Recall that this year the event will be held in Italy. Unlike other countries, Belgium was almost the first to decide on an artist from their country.
Childhood and youth of Jeremy Macquise
Jeremy was born in Antwerp (Flanders, Belgium). It was not possible to find out the exact date of birth of the artist. It is only known that he was born in 2000.
At the age of 6, Jeremy moved to Berchem-Saint-Agate with his large family. As it turned out later, this was not the final "stop". Then the family moved to Dilbek. Over time, the guy mastered Dutch and French. As a result, Makiese took root in Ukkel.
Music was respected in the Jeremy family. Both parents sang skillfully. Later, Jeremy joined the church choir. It was here that he began to hone his vocal skills. In his school years, the guy won a music competition, which was an excellent “kick” to take vocals at a professional level.
Football is another passion of Jeremie Makiese. He has been involved in these team sports since childhood, and already in his teens, without the permission of his parents, he joined the Brussels youth football team.
The head of the family initially did not support his son's passion for football. He was worried that the guy might get seriously injured. But, Jeremy was unstoppable. By the way, he is still listed as part of Royal Excelsior FC. He manages to be a "singing football player". At his age, he combines work in the football team and singing.
The creative path of Jeremiah Makiese
A real breakthrough in creativity happened to Jeremy at the beginning of 2021. It was then that he took part in the musical project The Voice Belgique (an analogue of the Voice of the Country vocal show).
In the "duel" stage, he fought with Astrid Kuylits. He stunned judges and spectators. He managed to get through to the next round, where he masterfully delivered the piece of music Ça fait mal by Christophe Mahe. In the next round, he performed Say Something - after which he reached the semi-finals. He made it to the grand final. Jeremy became the winner of the project.
After success on a musical project, he was forced to take a break at the university. According to the artist, now he simply has to focus on developing his creative career.
