Etienne Daho was a passionate music fan in his teens, listening to records by the French 60's star Françoise Hardy as well as alternative American bands such as Lou Reed's Velvet Underground. Inspired by his musical idols, it was not long before the talented young singer/songwriter from Rennes went on to become a major star in his own right. In the early 80's Daho established himself as the undisputed King of French Pop with catchy modern, melodies such as his classic "Week-end à Rome".
