Zoé Clauzure: TIME's Girls of the Year List
She writes about bullying in her songs and actively campaigns against it as the youngest-ever ambassador for The Non-Violence Project, a global group dedicated to promoting peace. 'I listened to a lot of music because it was an escape for me,' she says. 'I wrote down everything I was feeling at the time into little notebooks, then turned those words into songs. Now my songs can bring peace to others.'
Clazure continues to perform in 'Mon Premier Cabaret,' a variety show at Paris' historical Paradis Latin Cabaret, and will appear in an upcoming French series called "Cat's Eyes."
In September she will release an autobiographical novel about her personal experiences and her life on stage, called 'Tout Donner [Give Everything].'
Her newest single, released on June 6 as part of her first EP, speaks to her own experiences of being excluded and bullied by her classmates even as she rose to national prominence. 'It's for me,' she says, 'but also for all the people who have ever felt invisible. Being completely ignored, it makes us question our very existence, our voice. This song gives a message of hope to victims of harassment.'
