Grégoire (born April 3, 1979 in Senlis ; actually Grégoire Boissenot ) is a French pop singer and composer .

Life

In his childhood he was influenced by the music of the Beatles , by Jean-Jacques Goldman , Elton John , Cat Stevens , David Bowie , Léo Ferré , Bruce Springsteen and Jacques Brel .

In autumn 2008 he landed a hit with his first single Toi + moi in his home country and neighboring francophone countries. The success was funded by the record company MyMajorCompany, which was founded as an open Internet community . A total of 347 members of the community took part in the production of Grégoire's debut album with a minimum of € 5 . The required € 70,000 had been received within five months. The radio stations in Paris became aware of the musician through voluntary promotional activities by the members in blogs. In particular, the broadcasters RTL and NRJ helped the song to broadcast nationwide.

After the release of the album , which was advertised with Grégoire as the first "artist produced by the general public in France", it went straight to number 2 on the French charts. The single Toi + moi stayed at number 1 in the French part of Belgium for twelve weeks . So far, around 900,000 copies of his album have been sold. In the music video published to accompany his debut single, around 40 of his producers can be seen in front of the camera.

For his success, he was nominated for the 2009 NRJ Music Awards as French Discovery of the Year in his home country .

His second studio album Le même soleil was released on November 15, 2010.

His third studio album Les Roses de Mon Silence was released on September 16, 2013.
