Renaud S�chan

Renaud S�chan, 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:
