Biography
Louis Laurent Bertignac was born in Oran, former French Algeria, on 23 February 1954, and is best known as a founding member, guitarist, and singer of the legendary French rock group Téléphone, who formed in 1976 and parted ways a decade later. Following the band's split, Louis Bertignac formed the group Louis Bertignac et les Visiteurs with bassist Corine Marienneau and recorded two albums: a self-titled debut in 1987 and Rocks in 1990. He branched out as a solo artist three years later, releasing the Tony Visconti-produced Elle and Louis (1993), followed by live acoustic album Bertignacoustic in 1994. He teamed up with producer Chris Kimsy of the Dream Syndicate for his second solo full-length offering, 96, in 1996 and followed it with live album Bertignac (1998). In 2004, he produced, arranged and played guitar on the debut album by Carla Bruni, Quelqu'un m'a dit, with the singer contributing lyrics to 10 of the 12 songs on his 2005 album Longtemps. 2006 saw the release of solo album Live Power Trio and in 2011 he was made a knight of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. Suis-moi surfaced in 2014 with an album comprising adaptations of rock classics, Origines (2018), preceding the 2023 LP Dans le Film de Ma Vie, which rose to number 19 in France.
