BIOGRAPHY:
Florent Pagny was born on November 6, 1961 in Chalons on the
Saone. He very early shows an interest for the song and sings
Shine Mariano and of the Michel Sardou in the family house.
To the 15 years age, tried by an artistic career, it goes up
to Paris or it assiduously follows courses to the academy of
Levallois Perret and earns its living by connecting the odd
jobs. Whereas he is a barman in one limps of night, he is located
by the person in charge for the casting of "Diva",
a film of Jean Jacques Beineix, who offers a minor part in this
film to him. Figurations in minor parts, Florent connects turnings
for the cinema as for television. In 1985, it finds finally
the means of being expressed in the field which is due to him
in heart and records the credits of film of Michel Gerard, "Wound".
Two years later, it records its first individual "Anything",
success is immediate for this anticonformist man and rebel.
But the medal with
a reverse: its blows of mouth and payments of account weary
the press which boycotts it. Its career advances while following
tops and bottoms: it gains a Victoire of the Music in 1989 and
the following year its second album passes unperceived. The
age brings a little rest to the heart of Florent who becomes
more diplomat in the choice of his texts what enables him to
meet a more durable success near the public to gain his place
in the medium of stars of the French variety. In 1997, its album
"Knowledge To like" gains an enormous success, since,
Florent connects the albums at the rate/rhythm of every two
years and alternates his life between France and Patagonie or
it has with his wife a farm and 4000 hectare of ground which
enables him to be devoted to its passions: the motor bike and
fishing. In 2004, Florent attacks an ambitious project: "Baritone",
an album made up of titles of the traditional repertory. This
album is a true success! For its return in 2006 with the album
"Abracadabra" Florent returns to a more pop style
and delivers a superb album with texts always also interesting
as in "the Wall" or "Where I There Will take
You along". 2007, a new style exercise for which records
Florent Pagny "Pagny Chante Brel", a tribute to eleven
titles one of his idols.
