I spent some of my childhood in the United States.
Then I moved abroad with my single mother.
I have exotic good looks and magnetic charisma.

Fans (especially women) often faint at my events
I’ve been compared to other young “greats” who preceded me
An event in Berlin, Germany cast me onto the world’s stage.
The media adored me.

Answer
Of course, I’m Fabrice Morvan — formerly of Milli Vanilli.
I was born in Guadalupe, moved to Miami, then moved to Paris with my single mother.
I was modeling and breakdancing in Berlin when producer Frank Varian picked me and Rob Pilatus to become the duo fronting Milli Vanilli.
We sold over 30 million singles, 14 million albums and became one of the most popular acts in the world.
We played to packed venues and achieved worldwide adulation — including a Grammy.
We were often compared to Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, Paul McCartney, and Mick Jagger.
Then, during a live MTV performance at the Lake Compounce theme park in Bristol, Connecticut, a playback machine jammed.
Only then did people realize that we were simply lip syncing recorded tracks. While we put on a great show, we couldn’t sing.
Fans were disappointed, we had to give back our Grammy, and our success turned to infamy as con artists.
“Our career came to a sudden and ignominious end: Fakers. Frauds. A blatant marketing scam. ”
