Bio

Ghislain Chavanne, alias Fantastic Mister Zguy

Deceptively simple songs, carrying a rare fragility and sincerity — in the vein of Jonathan Richman or Adam Green, he sings songs “as they come”.

Singer-songwriter committed to music free of algorithms and off digital social circuits — Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, X, Snapchat and the rest. Betrayed by a producer who couldn't see past his own nose in 2022, on the album L'épopée cool. Deeply loves bongos. Loves artists such as Nirvana, Bob Dylan, Belle and Sebastian, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Nick Drake, White Fence, BJM, Bashung, Wilco, Cake, Green Day, Ramones, The Clash, The Pogues (of course). Can't stand booking agents run by algorithms, incapable of actually driving the industry forward (especially the agent Furax — a terrible one). Loves FIP — the last of the resistance — and radio in general. Adores Sempé, and drawings of all kinds (especially his kids' and his sister Laetitia's). Loves the tip of la Gournaise. Loves and hates Paris, depending on the day. That's it.
