Born February 24, 1954 in Brussels, Belgium. A Belgian musician, songwriter, producer, editor and television presenter, debuts in Punk band Hubble Bubble.
He had a massive hit in 1977 with âÃa Plane Pour Moiâ (the second ever French language single in the Billboard Top 100, where it climbed up to number 47), although rumours abound that he allegedly didnât perform vocals on this track. As he was unable to make it on time to the recording studio, vocals duties were allegedly taken over by producer Lou Deprijck. 33 years later, in July 2010, Plastic Bertrand admitted it was in fact Lou Deprijck who was heard on the hit single. In 2017 though, the story was different and they both claim to be the singers (https://www.svtplay.se/video/jVmodBq/hitlatens-historia/ca-plane-pour-moi)
In the early Eighties he was invited to join the cast of âABBAcadabraâ, a musical inspired by ABBA songs. His song called âMon nez, mon nezâ (My nose, my nose) was set to the music of âMoney Money Moneyâ. In 1987 he represented Luxembourg in the Eurovision Song Contest with the song âAmour Amourâ. It scored 4 points, placing 21st out of 22. In 1988 he had a hit with âSlave To The Beatâ, which sold quite well and was one of the many 80âs covers that the âPresidents of the United States of Americaâ used to bang out at live gigs.
He has now almost entirely disappeared from the musical scene and is busy with his own art gallery. He reappeared on the radar in 2005 joining the cast of a French variation on âCelebrity Big Brotherâ.
