M. Pokora

What I admire about M. Pokora is how a kid from Strasbourg became a genuinely global-caliber performer. Born Matthieu Tota, he sings, dances, styles himself and models with an almost greedy versatility, working mostly in French but reaching for English too, and he took the 2020 MTV Europe Music Award for Best French Act. The detail I keep returning to is his repeated stint coaching The Voice Kids France—it suggests a real eye for spotting and nurturing young talent. Stars who radiate warmth rather than aloofness are rarer than people admit, and I'm happy to applaud him as a standard-bearer for French pop.
