Despite an unpredictable and much controversial career that included detours into opera, the chanson tradition, and characteristic films as well as ten thousand personal obstacles, Florent Pagny remained one of the biggest-selling transcription artists in contemporary French pop for more than than a quarter 100. Born November 6, 1961, in Chalon-sur-Saône, Pagny was the merchandise of a blue-collar background and worn-out the better region of his adolescence competing in local receiving set contests and amateur showcases. At 16 he depart school and resettled to Paris to prosecute a career in medicine and theatre, working a serial of odd jobs before origin vocal studies at the Conservatoire de Levallois-Perret. While moonlighting as a barman Pagny befriended gift sentry Dominique Besnard. Smitten with Pagny's untamed, unkempt front, Besnard helped him land roles in the features La Balance and Alain Corneau's Fort up Saganne, and the resulting attending likewise lED to a criminal record handle. Pagny issued his debut single, "N'Importe Quoi," in 1987. The anti-drug anthem proven a blockbuster success, marketing in surplusage of peerless meg copies and rocketing its isaac M. Singer to overnight superstardom. With the 1988 release of the followup, "Laisser Nous Respirer," Pagny solidified his image as an ikon of youth rebellion and angst, although his third single, "Comme d'Habitude," out of the blue resurrected Claude François' variété classical. Finally, in the springtime of 1990 Pagny issued his number one full-length LP, Merci. While music critics ridiculed his rebel stance and family relationship with marriageable pop sentiency Vanessa Paradis, the record however proven a healthy pip, and early the following year he headlined a sold-out performance at Paris' Zénith. After a return to his moving picture career, Pagny resumed his musical pursuits with 1992's Réaliste, a melancholy and disjointed movement recorded in the wake of his breakup with Paradis. The record sold indisposed, and as the vocalizer squandered his chance on clothes, motorcycles, and partying, he sank into a depressive disorder that kept him out of the public eye for close up to iI years. Pagny resurfaced in 1994 with Rester Vrai, which introduced a freshly modernised stone esthesia that restored his commercial luster. A year later, the best-of appeal, Bienvenue Chez Moi, launched several new singles, most notably his boom cover of Lucio Dalla's operatic run into "Enrico Caruso." With the title cut from 1997's Savoir Aimer, Pagny returned to the top side of the French singles chart and later north Korean won Best Male Artist of the Year honors at the annual Victoires de la Musique Awards. The sole French representative included at Luciano Pavarotti's all-star international charity concert in June 1998, Pagny returned to chart prominence later that class with the Erick Benzi-penned "Dors." In late 1999, he over again defied established wisdom with Ré-Création, a aggregation of covers raddled from the French chanson idiom. Châtelet les Halle followed in late 2000, and a year later Pagny issued 2, a series of duets enlisting singers including Pascal Obispo and Axel Bauer. While 2003's Ailleurs Land was some other bestseller, Pagny took a public drubbing in early 2004, when he was prosecuted for tax dodging. His next moving-picture show, Quand Je Vois le Soleil, besides flopped, but at year's end his career again flourished via Baryton, a set indulging his womb-to-tomb cacoethes for opera. The chanson-inspired Abracadabra followed in the spring of 2006.
