Biography

Damien Saez was born in Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne, Savoie, on August 1st, 1977, where he lived until the age of 3-4 years. Then he moved to Marseille. Saez spent most of his childhood in Marseille until he moved to Dijon when he was about 8 years old, where he was raised by his Algerian mother, after she got divorced from her Andalusian husband. Later, she met a director of documentaries who works for the French channel ‘France 3’ and gave birth to Damien’s two younger brothers.

At the age of 8, he started piano lessons with Boris Nedeltchev at the Conservatoire National de Région de Dijon and graduated with a diploma 9 years later. He then took an interest in the guitar. His career as a singer began in 1995 when he let his interest in writing come out. He stopped playing in bands that sang covers of more famous bands like Pink Floyd. He wanted to work on his own songs that he had written and try to attract a new audience.
In 1999, a record company became interested in his compositions, and he signed a record contract with Island and began to record his first album Jours étranges which went double platinum. His first single Jeune et con was broadcast on many radio stations and reached the general public, which earned him a nomination for award The Newcomer of the Year’ at the Victoires de la Musique in 2001.
In December 2001 his first poetry collection was published entitled À ton nom. In March 2002, he released his second album God Blesse/Katagena. In the meantime he released a piece of instrumental work called Katagena.

    Un bon album. Pas meilleur que Varso - Paris - Alhambra, mais un bon album de Saez. Beaucoup de similitudes avec ses précédents albums (hormis le triple). Un retour aux racines j'ai envie de dire. ( A great album. Not better than Varso - Paris - Alhambra, but a great album of Saez. A lot of similarities with his precedent albums (but not with the triple). Comeback to the roots, I think.)
