France cancelled Destination Eurovision and decided to go internal again, that was known. On January 14, 2020 they let us know, as rumored already for days, that Tom Leeb is the chosen one. That's somewhat surprising as so far he has sung only in English, and is better known as an actor and most of all comedian. He only released his debut album in September last year following an EP a year before and a couple of singles.
Tom (30) comes from an artistic family his father being a well known comedian and mother a journalist, while his sister is a singer, too. He started his artistic career acting along side his father in theater at the age of 14 (in Mrs Doubtfire) and later spent five years in New York studying theater, film, dance and music. Nine films, several short films, theater and television series later he's ready to take on his musical career big time.
French television said they simply had the right song, and found the right performer for it. We only have to wait and see if it's in French after all. France singing in English would be quite a bomb really.
