Born : July 30, 1971 // Echirolles (near Grenoble), France
French singer and songwriter.
In 1986 he became the lead singer and songwriter for a band called « Les
Charts » he started with his brother,
Gioacchino Maurici, and a childhood friend,
Francis Maggiulli.
After break-up, all members of « Les
Charts » continued with solo musical careers, but continued to co-write songs together, first, under the name of
Calogero Bros and later listing of their individual names.
As the band began to lose its momentum, Calogero decided to launch himself as a solo artist and gathered important connections by writing songs and collaborating with already popular artists such as
Zazie and
Pascal Obispo.
Since the late 1990s, Calogero composed songs for many artists, often in collaboration with his brother Gioacchino.
