Newbie Sliimy, 20, is a songster from Saint-Étienne, France (near Lyon). Yanis in actuality hides behind a funny nickname and a huge dose of self-derision. A thoroughgoing dreamer, Sliimy pretends he's Brit, it's part of the smoothie character he's used to acting in real life. He doesn't take himself too seriously. Anyhow, Sliimy is a talented artist and c'est trop chouette -as he'd put it.
