The first artist to be signed to celebrity blogger
Perez Hilton's record label, French singer/songwriter
Yahnis Sahraoui, aka
Sliimy, first found fame on the Internet after posting an acoustic rendition of
Britney Spears' "Womanizer" on MySpace. The attention-grabbing track doesn't appear on his debut album,
Paint Your Face, with the falsetto-voiced extrovert instead focusing on a sound that sits somewhere between the classic sounds of
the Beatles and the kitschy infectious dance-pop of Mika. Produced by multi-instrumentalist Feed, the 2009 release includes the European hit single "Wake Up." ~ Jon O'Brien
