Yannick Bovy

The Flemish Michael Bublé is what he is invariably called. And there are worse people to be compared to. But for Yannick Bovy (25) the comparison is hardly far-fetched: he has the looks and the voice. Which means that the chances of this young Belgian crooner soon becoming a national and international rising star are very strong. ‘I take it as a major compliment and in a way it’s logical, there aren’t that many young crooners around’, says Yannick. ‘The timbre of my voice resembles Michael’s, but it’s not a matter of conscious imitation. I just feel completely at home in this genre. There’s a good reason that my motto is It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing.’
