Saez

Damien Saez burst onto the French music scene at the end of 1999 with the single "Jeune et con", which was an immediate success. In his lyrics, he adopts a political stance close to alter-globalism, claiming the heritage of committed French chanson. From rock songs with the air of generational anthems to various experiments, Saez, whose music blends a multitude of influences - from British rock to electro to classical music - has established himself in a handful of albums, notably God Blesse and Jours Étranges, as one of France's finest rock musicians. After an English-language interlude under the name Yellow Tricycle, Saez returned with the vigorous J'Accuse in the spring of 2010, accompanied by the kind of controversy the singer is so fond of. In 2012, Messina takes over in the form of a triple album. Damien Saez again hit the headlines in 2013 with Miami and its provocative cover. Then he disappeared completely, publishing nothing more on social networks, only to reappear three years later with a major project: a year-long adventure, marking his fortieth birthday, called Le Manifeste, which he describes as "New Art". He describes it as a "new art" project, a logbook of poems, new titles, photos and texts. It takes shape with the publication of three albums, L'Oiseau Liberté, Lulu and Le Dernier Disque.
