-M- was the alias of People from france pop enigma Mathieu Chédid, an uncommonly idiosyncratic and far-ranging skill most widely known on UNITED STATES shores for his efforts towards the animated cult favourite Les Triplettes de Belleville. Created Dec 21, 1971, in Boulogne-Billancourt, Chédid was the child of People from france pop icon Louis Chédid (on whose 1978 strike “T’a Beau Pas Être Beau” the six-year-old produced his documented debut) as well as the grandson of renowned poet and novelist Andrée Chédid. As a teenager Chédo collaborated with fellow pop scions Pierre Souchon and Julien Voulzy (kids of the famous songwriting duo Alain Souchon and Laurent Voulzy) in some short-lived organizations like Les Bébés Fous and Les Poissons Rouges. A gifted multi-instrumentalist, he also surfaced as an in-demand program player, adding to recordings headlined by Philippe Chatel, NTM, and Billy Ze Kick. Upon completing his debut single LP, 1997’s Le Baptême, Chédo used the alias “-M-,” abbreviating his 1st name while also playing within the pronunciation of “aime,” the French term for “like.” Creating a vividly theatrical stage display complementing his lively melodies and operatic vocals, -M- finished his change with both a acoustic guitar along with a coiffure in the form of his one-letter persona (to picture the second option, imagine a youthful, space-age Grandpa Munster). After earning the esteemed Prix Félix Leclerc for his songwriting prowess, -M- started focus on his 1999 follow-up, Je Dis Aime. Another industrial and critical achievement, it established the stage for the sold-out tour and Victoires de la Musique honours in the types of Greatest Male Vocalist and Greatest Concert. While acquiring a protracted break from documenting to improve his first kid, -M- in 2001 released a live LP, Le Tour de -M-. Its 2003 follow-up, Labo -M-, was bit more when compared to a hodgepodge of instrumentals, demos, and outtakes, although his imaginative name theme for Sylvain Chaumet’s acclaimed feature Les Triplettes des Belleville was itself respectable aswell. Finally, at year’s end -M- resurfaced with a fresh studio work, Qui de Nous Deux?, an archive that eschewed the flamboyance of his earlier music and only a far more personal and mature sensibility. The next globe tour yielded the dual live launch En Tête ? Tête, released in past due 2005. He released his 5th studio recording Mister Mystere in ’09 2009 following a six-year hiatus. Another live recording En Tete A Tete adopted this year 2010. He started arrangements for his 5th studio recording, Îl in 2012.
