Grégoire: French Singer-Songwriter
Grégoire is a French composer, lyricist, and singer-songwriter who has released three albums and achieved success with singles in France, Belgium, and Switzerland.
Early Life
Born in the northern French town of Senlis, Grégoire is the youngest of four brothers. His father was an engineer and his mother a mathematics teacher. At age eight, he witnessed a Beatles concert, which inspired his older brother to teach him how to play "Let It Be" on the piano.
Music Career Beginnings
Grégoire wrote his first song for his childhood sweetheart. He later composed using both the piano and guitar. While his songs initially failed to generate income, he supported himself by selling CDs at a record store.
Grégoire holds a Master's degree in Applied Foreign Languages (English and German) from Nanterre. He married Éléonore de Galard, a lawyer, on August 25, 2012. They have two children, Paul (born November 19, 2012) and Léopoldine (born September 17, 2014). The family resides in Boulogne-Billancourt.
Breakout with My Major Company
In 2007, Grégoire signed with My Major Company, a youth-funded label. 347 individuals helped produce his debut album. Grégoire's collaboration with 40 producers was captured in the music video for his hit single "Toi + Moi." The song received airplay on NRJ and RTL and became a chart-topper in Belgium, Switzerland, and French digital charts. In 2008, Grégoire was nominated for "French Revelation of the Year" at the NRJ Music Awards.
Success and Accolades
Grégoire released his second single, "Rue des étoiles," in December 2008, and his third single, "Ta Main," followed in March 2009, featuring Spanish actress and model Inés Sastre. In November 2010, he released the album "Le Même Soleil," with singles "Danse" and "Soleil."
Grégoire became a member of the musical collective Les Enfoirés in 2010. In 2013, he released his album "Les Roses de Mon Silence," which went platinum (selling over 250,000 copies). The album is dedicated to two of his deceased brothers, Ludovic and Nicolas, as depicted in the music video for "Ta Main."
