Early life
Chico Slimani was born in Bridgend, South Wales, to Berber Moroccan parents. Chico's father and mother were both Muslim. At age two, his parents split. Slimani remained in Morocco and lived with his grandparents, whereas his mother opted to live in Belgium. Slimani spent his childhood time in Larache, Morocco. His family was so poor that Chico took up goat herding to contribute to the family income, but as he says "We may have not had much money, but we had a lot of love".
When he was 14 years old, his father, living in Crawley, West Sussex, called him back to live in the UK. After leaving school, he began a youth training scheme as a hairdresser, before working as an electrician. He also studied martial arts.
Aspiring to make a name for himself in arts and entertainment, Slimani took part in an exotic dance troupe called "Extreme Force" and later became a singer/compere with Lapattack. He also worked as a male stripper[1] for a while. From a young age, he continued writing and recording songs in the hope of breaking into the music business.
In 2004, Slimani also tried his hand at acting and co-wrote, starred, produced and provided the soundtrack for the
The X Factor
Judge Simon Cowell walked out of Chico's initial X Factor audition after fellow judges Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne voted him through to the second round[2] after he performed "If I Ever Fall in Love" (from Shai) / "Kiss" (from Prince and the Revolution)
His category ("Over 25s") was mentored by Osbourne, who put him through to the live television phase after a particularly memorable performance at the Osbournes' "home", in which he jumped into a shallow pool and danced in the water (still holding a live microphone).[3]
Chico was at first mocked in the press, but after changing the style of his performances, to become slightly more self-mocking, he began to win voters over. He also became notable for being the first contestant in a Simon Cowell show (
Cowell was won over during the series, commenting that Chico was a 'born entertainer', even if he wasn't the recording artist the show was looking to discover. Three weeks from the final, Chico was voted out of the competition, which was won by Shayne Ward in December 2005.
The performances by Slimani during X Factor included:
- Audition: "If I Ever Fall in Love" (from Shai) / "Kiss" (from Prince and the Revolution) (to Final 24)
- Judges House: "Livin' la Vida Loca" (from Ricky Martin) (to Final 12)
- Week 1: (15 October 2005): "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy" (from Rod Stewart) (Bottom 2, saved 2-1)
- Week 2 (22 October 2005): "Play That Funky Music" (from Wild Cherry) (safe)
- Week 3 (29 October 2005): "Livin' la Vida Loca" (from Ricky Martin) (Bottom 2, saved 2-1)
- Week 4 (5 November 2005): "Kiss" (from Prince and the Revolution)
- Week 5 (12 November 2005): "Hero" (from Enrique Iglesias)
- Week 6 (19 November 2005): "It's Chico Time" by Chico Slimani (safe)
- Week 7 (26 November 2005): "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson (Bottom 2, saved 2-1)
- Week 8 (3 December 2005): "I Got You (I Feel Good)" (from James Brown) and "Time Warp" (from The Rocky Horror Picture Show) (Eliminated after receiving fewest public votes)
