Just two days before her first show at Accor Arena, Amel Bent, who revealed her diet secret, shatters misconceptions about the life of an artist and describes a demanding daily routine, far less glamorous than imagined as a child. Speaking on Europe 1, the singer, a victim of racist attacks, explains that stage appearances are rare. Between creating, promoting, and communicating, she often waits for years before going on tour again, far from her childhood dreams.
A passion hindered by the realities of the job
Known since New Star and now a figure on The Voice, Amel Bent is currently touring across France. However, she points out that the job is not just about concerts. According to her, there is a “little scam” because the little girl who dreamt of singing to an audience discovers that this moment is rare. The daily routine consists mainly of writing, being in the studio, recording, and long periods of preparation. Thus, the shiny image often associated with singing hides constant, sometimes solitary work, where rigor is just as important as talent and perseverance.
The singer also emphasizes the unique rhythm of this profession. Tours do not happen continuously and can be separated by several months, sometimes longer. “I know that I wait almost every three years to be able to go back on the road,” she confesses. Between concert series, she does numerous interviews, shows, and promotes her projects. She even describes herself as a “communicator.” Despite these constraints, her enthusiasm remains intact. What she likes the most is the direct interaction with the audience, the energy of the stage, and the immediate connection that gives meaning to the efforts made during the long artistic preparation phases.
Amel Bent determined in the face of prejudices
While Amel Bent speaks candidly about the profession, she also talks about the obstacles faced by women in the music industry. In an interview with Télé Loisirs, she denounced ageism, which she places alongside sexism and discrimination. According to her, female artists have less freedom to age or evolve. At 30, some told her she was too old to have her music highlighted on platforms. A brutal remark showing the constant pressure on the image of female singers in this highly competitive sector. However, the artist responded with achievements. With the album “Vivante,” she reached the top of listening platforms and swept away these quick judgments. “I proved that I have no expiration date,” she asserts. This success confirms her longevity and ability to reinvent herself. A mother of three, a popular artist who is always on stage, she continues to move forward without giving in to stereotypes. Her journey illustrates a simple reality: in music, perseverance often weighs more than age, and passion remains a key driving force for lasting long.
