Louis Chedid

Author, composer, performer, son of writer and poet Andrée Chedid and himself related to a line of musicians including the famous Matthieu Chedid alias -M-, Louis Chedid was born in Ismaïla, Egypt, on January 1, 1948. Arriving in Paris with his family at the age of six months, he grew up in the capital and worked in the film industry before embarking on a career in song. A guitarist since the age of twelve, he composed and recorded his first album Balbutiements (1973) with producer François Bernheim. After three more albums, success came with the title track "T'as beau pas être beau" and the album of the same name released in 1978. From then on, Louis Chedid established his style as a songwriter, with titles such as "Egomane" (1980), "Ainsi soit-il" (1981) and "Anne, ma soeur Anne" (1985). At the same time, he composed for Alain Souchon and Françoise Hardy, as well as the music for the film Pinot, simple flic. An older song, "Hold-up", was revived and became a hit. Other albums followed, notably Ces Mots Sont Pour Toi (1992), which featured his son Matthieu Chedid on guitar, as well as jazz musicians Didier Lockwood and Christian Escoudé. After the album Bouc Bel Air (2001), recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London, Louis Chedid worked on the musical tale Le Soldat rose, which was a great success, with the participation of numerous artists on stage and a Victoire de la musique award in 2007. In 2010, he returned to his own career with the album On Ne Dit Jamais Assez aux Gens Qu'on Aime Qu'on Les Aime, followed by the TV show in his honor, La Fête à Louis. Three years later, the album Deux Fois l'Infini (2013) was released, along with a complete set of his songs. In 2015, the Chedid family reunited for a tour, followed by the joint album Louis, Matthieu, Joseph et Anna Chedid. In 2016, he was elevated to the rank of Commandeur de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. Away from the media, Louis Chedid continues to provide news through albums Tout Ce Qu'on Veut Dans La Vie (2020), Entre Noires et Blanches (with pianist Yvan Cassar, 2022) and Rêveur, Rêveur (2024).
