Vacra spent about three years as a voice with no face. The autotuned, androgynous timbre and videos starring only dancers had French listeners arguing over whether the singer was a man or a woman. Behind it is Hugues Comperat, born in 1995 in Fontainebleau and raised between Seine-et-Marne and Auxerre, who finally showed himself at a private show at Silencio in Paris in February 2023.
The breakout was Plan séquence, a mix of hip-hop and afrobeat that took off on TikTok and later went platinum. His debut EP Galatée went gold in 2023, and the first album, Pygmalion, followed in May 2024 with PLK, Josman, Soolking and Louane as guests, also going gold. He has since become a go-to melodic voice on other rappers' records, from Jul to Lacrim, and dropped the EP En attendant Paphos in February 2025.
