Project

“After a worldwide successful first album in English, the time has come to write in French. That way, I'll be able to sing properly about sharks, Iron Maiden, the feeling of happiness... Your participation will be appreciated. And your money will be used to record the new songs, manufacture a CD box set, do some promotion. All sort of very expensive things. Don't be cheap.”
— François Gauer

Folks used to sing in English. Now it's in French. Soon he will simply be known as an immensely successful songwriter. All this, thanks to you. Read the full story here.
