Lila, the 14-year-old daughter of French television personality Mélissa Theuriau and comedian Jamel Debbouze, showcased her singing talent on the latest season of "The Voice Kids." She captivated the audience and convinced coaches Matt Pokora and Patrick Fiori to turn their chairs with her rendition of "Hopelessly Devoted to You" from the musical Grease.

Your voice is brilliant.

Ultimately, Lila chose to join Patrick Fiori's team, securing her spot in future episodes of the competition. Her passion for musical theater has been evident from a young age, as she studies at the West Child School, which offers training in acting, singing, and dancing. Lila has expressed her dream of performing on Broadway or in London.

While her older brother Léon pursues a career in professional football, Lila is dedicated to the performing arts. Her parents have been supportive of her ambitions. Jamel Debbouze previously mentioned his daughter's aspirations to be a singer and musical theater performer, noting that she attends a specialized school in Paris that accommodates young artists.

“

I've been doing musical theater since I was little, I sing, I dance, and I act. The ultimate fun would obviously be Broadway or London. I don't have a plan B, I just want to be on stage and have fun, that's my biggest dream.

This performance was not Lila's first foray into musical theater. She previously appeared in the musical "Holidays" at the Théâtre de l'Alhambra in Paris in 2023, even auditioning under a false name. She is also slated to play Juliet in a production in 2025.

My daughter, she wants to be Louane in life, a musical theater performer, singing, dancing.
