David Hallyday, born David Michael Benjamin Smet on August 14, 1966, is a French singer, songwriter, and amateur sports car racer. He is the son of the legendary French rock star Johnny Hallyday and French singer Sylvie Vartan, and thus, music runs deep in his veins. David embarked on his own musical journey in the 1980s and has carved out a respectable career in the European music scene. Fluent in the language of music from an early age, he has released many albums across the decades that showcase his talents as a musician.

His body of work is characterized by a passion for melodic songwriting and emotive performance. Notables in his discography include albums like "Un Paradis/Un Enfer" and "Satellite," which received acclaim and solidified his place in the French music industry. His later work, such as "Le temps d'une vie," and poignant singles like "J'ai quelque chose à vous dire," reflect a mature perspective, woven with personal introspections and a deeper exploration of life's themes.
