CHRIS STAR ACADEMY. He is the dean of the Star Academy class of 2022: Chris Camalon. Originally from Aix en Provence, he is 28 years old.

[Mis à jour le 12 novembre 2022 à 19h12] At the castle of Dammarie-les-Lys, he is the good friend: Chris continues his journey, almost without pitfalls, to Star Academy 2022. But then who is really the dean of this promotion? The young man is no stranger to the scene… At 28, this budding artist is a Parisian who has recently moved to Aix en Provence. Saturday October 15, he entered the castle of Dammarie-les-Lys, alongside the 12 other candidates of the cult telecrochet, which is returning to TF1.

Like many other Star Academy students, Chris already has a rich musical career behind him, from the stage at the Zenith d’Orléans during a Soprano concert to the British X Factor selections.

But the Star Academy made him dream, he who could also have chosen The Voice. “It’s quite simply a kid’s dream!”, he proclaims to Provence. “I was a fan of Star Academy. So much so that I noted the advice of teachers to improve myself, because I was not lucky enough to have singing and dancing lessons at the time”, he remembers. “It’s my childhood. I can still see myself in front of the TV saying to myself ‘it would be a dream to return to this castle, to have such prestigious lessons. There, it’s a dream that is coming true. It’s just amazing, can’t wait!”
