Renaud Séchan, known as Renaud, is a popular French singer, born May 11th 1952, in Paris. His early work is characterized by a volatile temperament, innovative use of the French language, and edgy, dark themes. Raised in an educated milieu, the son of an intellectual, Renaud's music focuses on themes that concern him; the disparity between classes, the abuse of political power, overbearing authority, disgust for the military, and rare glimpses of tenderness for his fellow humans, the planet earth, and art. Renaud’s later work is distinguished by love songs, and songs he wrote for his daughter, family and friends. Discography:
