A fixture of the French pop scene for more than two
decades, Calogero enjoyed success as a member of the trio
Les Charts and as a composer-for-hire before finally
mounting a solo career in 2000. Born Calogero Maurici in
Grenoble on July 30, 1971, as a child he studied the
flute, later mastering guitar, piano, and bass as well.
With other brother Giaocchino and childhood friend Francis
Maggiulli, he co-founded Les Charts in 1986. A chance
encounter with French pop legend France Gall proved
instrumental in landing the fledgling trio an audition for
producer Philippe Gaillard, who quickly agreed to helm
their debut single, "Je M'envole." With his long, curly
hair, sensitive lyrics, and boyish vocals, Calogero --
affectionately dubbed "Charlie" by fans -- soon emerged as
a teen heartthrob, and with 1991's "Notre Monde α Nous"
Les Charts became certified chart superstars. The trio
nevertheless split in 1997, and Calogero spent the
remainder of the decade writing material for other artists
including Florent Pagny, Ismaδl L⌠, HΘlΦne SΘgara, and
Patrick Fiori. In addition, he contributed songs to the
stage musical Les Dix Commandements. He finally returned
to performing via tours in support of Pascal Obispo and
Zazie, and in 2000 issued his debut solo LP, Au Milieu des
Autres. With 2002's Pierre Jaconelli-produced eponymous
follow-up, Calogero returned to chart glory, reeling off a
series of hits like "Aussi Libre Que Moi," "Prendre
Racine," and "Tien an Men." With 2003's 3, he notched
another round of hits including "Face α la Mer," "Yalla,"
and "Si Seulement Je Pouvais Lui Manquer," additionally
earning a Victoire de la Musique award as Best Male
Artist. An extensive French tour yielded 2005's Live 1.0.
After an extended hiatus, Calogero returned with a new
studio LP, Pomme C, in 2007.
