Frédéric Château is a French singer-songwriter himself, from a family of artists. It was at the age of 17 that he started his musical career with the group "Koeur’s" which in 1983 released the single hit "Elodie". And it was in 1987 that he experienced solo consecration with the title "Stop Lucie", and to a lesser extent with the singles "Le malheur des uns et le bonheur des autres" as well as "Les liaisons dangereuses". A prolific composer, he is notably responsible for the titles “Un ange frappe à ma porte” and “Mourir demain" for Natasha St Pier. But also "Mon pays" for Faudel. His career is far from over, he collaborates today with many artists as well as on musicals.

Clips :
1983 ... little youngsters fully motivated for their debuts, to say the least. A promising group but which unfortunately will not go to the end of its dreams ...
1984 ... a nice suite with the sound so typical of this mid-decade. Nothing exceptional but just a good job ...
1985 ... it is clear that this group will not remain as the most brilliant of the decade but hecertainly does not have to be ashamed of all that he could have produced !
1987 ... the title that will change everything. Finished the Koeur's, the artist now plays it solo and we see the result. He simply signs here one of the most inspired titles of the decade. SUMP-TU-OUS !
1988 ... an undeniable talent for composition which once again produces a high-flying title. A talent that deserved recognition far superior to what it was
1988 ... second big hit which makes him definitively enter the musical legend of the 80s on the French side. A largely deserved success !
1989 ... a title with the frenzied rhythm passed somewhat unnoticed. Difficult to compete with the previous steamroller ...
1990 ... change of decade and change of tempo. He tries big ballads and my faith, the result is once again up to par
1991 ... another title with certain quality. But which no longer really fits with the musical movement of this early 90s ... too bad !
1992 ... this time, it "sounds" good in the 90s. But it is already too late for the artist who will bow gently on this track ...
1993...he will bow out to leave the high level but that absolutely does not mean the end of the adventure for him, that is clear...
1994...we're not going to lie, the best years are now behind him but what he continues to offer is far from unworthy, it's clear...
1994...what is certain is that a little more than 10 years after the start of his career in the open he still has things to offer and especially to sing...
1994...an adventure which will continue afterwards or not, good question ? In any case, only him can answer the question...
2020... when we thought we would never see him again, here he is back almost 26 years later, who would have thought it possible ? An unexpected return which will inevitably delight the core fans to the highest extent...
2020...not only is he coming back but what he has to offer is more than holding up, to say the least. What talent !
2020...a multi-talented artist who proves with certainty that talent does not disappear overnight. The proof !
2022...we will even find him 2 years later, which proves that he still had a lot under his belt and that he only wanted to come back !
2022...a comeback that took him years to orchestrate but now that he has made the right decision he is unrolling impressively !
2022...a stunning level of quality for an artist who started his career so long ago. So in music nothing is ever finished !
2022...we therefore hope that this title will not be the last and that he still has titles in the boxes and that he only wants to bring them out !
