Patrick Fiori, born Patrick Jean-François Chouchayan on September 23, 1969, in Marseille, France, is an accomplished singer-songwriter of French-Armenian descent. With a career that has spanned over two decades, Fiori has firmly established his presence in the Francophone music scene with his melodious voice and emotive performances. His heritage has often influenced his music, blending the evocative sounds of his Corsican and Armenian ancestry into contemporary French pop.

Fiori first gained national attention in France in 1993 when he represented the country in the Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Mama Corsica," which resulted in a respectable fourth-place finish. However, it was his role as 'Phoebus' in the hit musical "Notre-Dame de Paris" in 1997 and the subsequent single "Belle," that propelled him to stardom. Albums such as "Promesse," "Choisir," and "L'instinct masculin" showcase his ability to meld thoughtful lyrics with lush melodies, further endearing him to fans. Fiori has continued to evolve as an artist, reflected in his more recent works including "Un air de famille" and "Le chant est libre," which demonstrate his ongoing commitment to creating music that resonates with authenticity and passion.
