Sliimy
Janis Sahraoui (French: [saʁawi]; born 16 September 1988) is a French pop musician and singer-songwriter.
Sahraoui debuted in the late 2000s under the stage name Sliimy (rhyming with "Jimmy") through social networking websites where she released her songs. The artist soon received attention online and signed into recording label Warner Music Group, releasing the single Wake Up and her debut album Paint Your Face in 2009, which reached number 2 in the French charts. The singer then performed on stage, in concerts and in opening acts for Britney Spears and Katy Perry.
Singing mostly in English in an accent that has been described as "mockney", with androgynous looks and a falsetto voice, the artist was compared to Mika or Prince by the press. Sahraoui was sometimes also dubbed "the French Mika" in her native France and internationally.
Sahraoui performed as "Yanis" from 2015 to 2023 and released the EP L'heure Bleue in 2016.
