Forty producers of Grégoire appear elsewhere in his first music video, "Toi + Moi".[4] The song was quickly aired by the radio NRJ and RTL.[5] It became a hit in Belgium, in Switzerland and on the French digital chart.

In 2008, Grégoire was nominated at the NRJ Music Awards in the category 'French revelation of the year'.

A second single, "Rue des Étoiles" went to radio in November 2008 and was released in December, then a third single, "Ta Main", whose music video was shot in March 2009 with the actress Inès Sastre.[6]
