Artist History The voice, the words are Seggian’s. With his bushy beard and his cheerful eyes, he saw a few summers since that season in hell, that season at war, when he was 20, in Algeria. To survive, Seggian held to his memories, his oriental roots, his mother’s piano. He had studied classical music, but back in Paris he took the truant path of pop music. The path then led him to Montmartre. Young Seggian lived in the rue Blanche, met Francis Lay and Bernard Dimey on the Hill, hung around the Place du Tertre at a time when artists could freely access it. He was one of Patachou’s familiars. Claude Nougaro was a beginner singer. Pierre Barouh, Anouk Aimée were never very far. Painters, poets and writers sat together at café counters. The atmosphere incited Seggian to write. Before meeting his writers, before becoming an author himself, Seggian wrote a few ‘small film soundtracks’, offered sheet music to the newborn 70s generation: gangsta-rocker Danny Boy and his Penitents, young Billy Bridge who could go nowhere without his Mum. Seggian’s compositions were also sung by Michèle Arnaud and Enrico Macias, Bob Azzam and Charles Aznavour.
