Daniel Seff is a French singer-songwriter who began his artistic career as a teenager by composing his first songs with his brother.
It is by presenting his compositions to a certain...Claude Nougaro that the young artist will see his career really take off when the latter's artistic director contacts him and has him signed under his Festival label.
Despite this signing and the production of several titles in the years that followed, he would experience only one real success with the title "Je pars avec elle" in 1984.
At the same time he will compose for others in particular and will offer some of their successes to artists such as Axelle Red, Patrick Fiori, Lara Fabian, Elisa Tovati and other Isabelle Boulay.

Tracks :
1969 ... a very subtle debut which fits perfectly with the very 'Flower power' mood of the moment. It remains to be seen what this young singer out of nowhere will propose next ...
1972 ... it will take him a few more years to really start to take off. What is certain is that the Intimist suits him rather well, the proof once again with this title !
1972...what is certain in any case is that he is perfectly in tune with the times and it will inevitably end up paying off, you just have to be a little patient...
1975 ... a real talent for writing but which does not earn him more than that for the moment. At least in terms of his personal career ...
1978...there's not much missing for his solo career to finally take off as it deserves, but it still doesn't want to at this stage...
1980...but as they say, everything comes to those who wait. He will have waited a while but we are getting closer to the first rewards, slowly but surely...
1980...some careers decline in the long term and this will be his case. After as long as he manages to produce at least 1 reference title, it will be at least that...
1982 ... the 1960s saw him blossom, the 1970s saw him gain in strength and it was the 1980s which finally brought him its first real successes. It was time...
1982 ... he knew how to adapt to the new trends of the moment but it does not pay more than that for the moment. We will have to be a little more patient to see him take down the cup ...
1982 ... another nice Intimist title as he knows how to do them so well. A know-how in this field more than obvious and which will always have been its main asset...
1984 ... he will have to wait for THIS title to finally be rewarded for his merits. Certainly this title will not finish N°1 of the French Top50 but it is with this song that he will record his biggest personal success. At least it's done !
1984 ... a singer who will have crossed the 80s in the shadow of the greatest. Too bad because he had the potential to shine on the front of the stage but fate will have decided otherwise ...
1984 ... titles of a certain quality but only one will have succeeded in bringing him a semblance of recognition. Too bad because he deserved better than that, that's clear ...
1993 ... when we thought the adventure was over, here he is back in this decade of the 90s. He still believes in it but there is much more than him to believe in it unfortunately ...
1996 ... that does not prevent him from continuing his adventure as he sees fit. Afterwards, rightly or wrongly, it is him who sees as they say ...
1998 ... a title which literally floats in the air and which shows that the decades may pass, his talent in the Intimist does not weaken an iota. An exit through the main door as they say ...
1998... come on, the adventure is not quite over. There are still one or two titles to be brought back into the spotlight as they should be and it is only fair...
1998...he will not necessarily remain the best known of his generation but what he produced throughout his career is far from being unworthy in any case...
