Yvan Cujious

A teacher turned singer in 2001, Yvan Cujious has followed an atypical path in the new French chanson scene. Influenced as much by Claude Nougaro and William Sheller as by Bénabar, this Toulousan singer worked on the radio and composed original songs for several years before finally seeing the light. The album Tout Le Monde M'Aime (2009), featuring Olivia Ruiz, followed the more discreet Chansons De Mes Deux Mains (2003). After a delayed success, the second instalment, J'Aime Tous Les Gens , arrived in 2012.
