Biography
In the early 1980s, he created several magazines such as Hit magazine, Stéphanie, Super Géant, Privé and books on Claude François, Mesrine, Nostradamus and Coluche. In 1984 he had success with his hit "T'as le look coco", which peaked at #7 on the SNEP singles chart. The new singles, "Tonsign atoi sekoi", "Alors... heureuse ?", "Faut pas décoder" and "Petite fille de branchés moyens" passed almost unnoticed and failed to be ranked. He performed two shows, Break Dance & Smurf (1983–1984) and T'as le look fluo (1985–1989), which were successful (1,000 performances). After the failures of his last singles, he stopped his singing career and took up with his work of magazines publisher (R.A.P. R&B, ROCKMAG).Singles
