Born on January 29, 1963, in Paris as Thomas Chedid, he developed a passion for music at a very young age. He learned to play the piano and the guitar, but songwriting would become his preferred form of expression. Fascinated by words, he cultivates a rich and playful language, where each song becomes a little theater inhabited by chatty animals, tender misfits, dreamy lovers, and ordinary heroes.
