Biography
Born in Toulon on May 3, 1951, Jean Guidoni has left his mark on French chanson, influenced by the world of cabaret. Against a backdrop of tango, blues, rock or simple piano melodies, Jean Guidoni, a man of the stage, has slowly imposed a highly personal universe, made up of his own wounds and marked by a provocation that has led him to be shunned by the general public. His sometimes complex work, which has won numerous awards from the profession and focuses on themes of exile, show business, the night and homosexuality, has continued in the shadow of the media. The albums Je Marche Dans les Villes in 1981 and Tigre de Porcelaine in 1987, which won the Grand Prix de l'Académie Charles-Cros, are testimony to the importance of this unclassifiable artist. In 2007, the album La Pointe Rouge, featuring contributions from Dominique A, Katerine, Mathias Malzieu and Jeanne Cherhal, brought him a degree of recognition. Two tributes followed, to Jacques Prévert(Ãtranges Ãtrangers, 2008) and Allain Leprest(Paris - Milan, 2014), before returning to personal songwriting for Légendes Urbaines (2017), Avec des Si (2022) and Eldorado(s) (2025). On November 21, 2025, Jean Guidoni dies of lung cancer in Bordeaux, at the age of 74.
