BIOGRAPHY
Thierry Mersch was discovered at karaoke. As a primary school teacher he produced benefit CD´s together with his pupils for children's aid projects since 2002. In 2006: the first major milestone: In "Searching the Voice", the Luxembourg version of "Idols", Mersch wins after two exciting preliminaries. he released his first album in 2009. One year later, Thierry took over the lead in the musical "Love@Music", which was premiered on the occasion of the 750th anniversary of the city Diekirch. In addition to numerous appearances as an actor and singer at RTL Luxembourg and various radio stations, he played the Apostle Simon Zealotes in the musical "Jesus Christ Superstar" in 2002.
Thierry Mersch is not afraid of competition. In 2011 he represented Luxembourg in Hollywood. In the "World Championships of Performing Arts" he was able to prevail against more than 3000 participants. In the final, he managed to win the bronze medal for his single "Gimme more". 2014 he got a concrete offer to participate in the Euro Vision Song Contest, which failed at the last moment.
His third album and his single "Shout it out" (a duet with Isaac Roosevelt) brought him permanently in the first row of Luxembourg artists. With another duet he represents his country at the OGAE Video Contest in 2016.
Patricia (civic Patricia Venancio Da Silva) is the 20-year-old duet partner. The two singer met each other in a joint concert and found that both come from Heinerscheid (600 inhabitants). And the two musicians have found more similarities: the same passion for music, same management, the same producer, and both have participated in talent shows. Patricia made it already with 14 years in the final of a RTL casting show. In 2014 she became fifth in the German edition of "Keep Your Light Shining". Since then, she could publish 3 successful singles and is working on her debut album.
HOLD ON TO OUR DREAM
Standing on an island
Looking for a new dimension
Trying out all possible ways
Without knowing if it’s right or wrong.
Out of nowhere
You were standing there
And we realized … we‘ve always been close to each other
Because you and I we have the same dream.
Moments like this
Make us make us feel so much stronger
We’re gonna hold on to our dream
Because we’re young at heart
Each day has a new tomorrow
So hold on to our dream.
My passion is your passion
And your dream is my dream
If I’m gonna reach the stars
I’ll add one for you, too.
And even if we fall
we’ll stand up and give it all
No one can take this away
Because you and I we share the same dream.
Moments like this make us feel so much stronger
We’re gonna hold on to our dream
Because we’re young at heart
Each day has a new tomorrow
So hold on to our dream.
We’re gonna be strong and stand tall
Because our dream is the way that guides us to our goal
So hold on to our dream, our dream.
Moments like this
Make us feel so much stronger
We’re gonna hold on to our dream
Because we’re young at heart
Each day has a new tomorrow
So hold on to our dream.
