Career

[edit]

Mustin finished his studies in the theatre at the Institut des Arts de Diffusion (Louvain-la-Neuve) in 2012 and began to shoot for a French television series named À tort ou à raison, directed by Alain Brunard.[3] He also performed on stage as Benvolio in Romeo and Juliet, directed by Yves Beaunesne.[4] The play notably opened the new Théâtre de Liège.[5]

He then embarked on the staging of the play Débris by Dennis Kelly, performed in November and December 2014 at the Riches-Claires in Brussels.[6]

In early 2015, he took part in the revival of the show L'Auberge du Cheval-Blanc, directed by Dominique Serron at the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Charleroi and the Royal Opera of Wallonia. He then starred in two films and a television series. In the first film, he played alongside Romain Duris and Gustave Kervern in the French film, Odd Job (2016), directed by Pascal Chaumeil. In the second film, he starred alongside Fabrizio Rongione in Les Survivors, directed by Luc Jabon. In the television series, The Break (directed by Matthieu Donck), he plays the role of Kevin.[7] The series was a great success in Belgium.[8]

In 2014, Mustin signed a contract with Kid Noize's label, Black Gizah Record. His first single, "The Golden Age", was quickly broadcast on many Belgian radio stations in Flanders and Wallonia.[9]

In December 2016, he was nominated six times at the D6bels Music Awards in the following categories: Male Solo Artist, Concert, Pure FM Artist/Group, Revelation, Music Video, and Songwriter. He leaves with the trophy for Revelation of the Year.[citation needed] On February 2, 2019, he received the Magritte Award for Most Promising Actor for the film The Royal Exchange.[10] In September 2019, he was nominated at the Prix de la critique in the following category Male Revelation (Espoir masculin).[11]

On 30 August 2023, it was announced that he would be representing Belgium in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Malmö, Sweden.[12] His entry, titled "Before the Party's Over", was released on 20 February 2024.[13] He performed in the second semi-final of the event, on 9 May 2024, but failed to qualify to the final.[14] It was later revealed that he finished 13th out of 16 in the semi-final, scoring 18 points.
