If I would like to make the best compliment to the singer, it would be: he has his own style.
You hear him singing, and you do not even to know the song - it's Daniel Lavoie.

Richard Cocciante

In a recent ... past Richard Cocciante was a famous pop singer. He recorded albums in Italian, English and German and had numerous fans all around the world.

Richard`s first acquaintance with Daniel was in 1991, when Richard took the role in rock - opera «Sand et les romantiques» (in this performance Daniel played the role of Eugène Delacroix). In 1994 Cocciante gave an unforgettable performance at the festival «Frankofolia», which took place in France. He performed «Ils s`aiment», an impressive duet with Daniel. Together they took part in the concert «Frankofolia», dedicated to the poet and songwriter Luc Plamondon.

Cocciante and Plamondon collaboration has a long story. Together they began to work on the project «Notre Dame de Paris». They have chosen actors to play roles in this musical. Fortunately, the role of Frollo went to Daniel. It is well-known, what a great success «Notre Dame de Paris» was. In February 1999 they received the award «Victories de la Musique» for the best musical and the best song of the year - «Belle».

Immediately after this, Cocciante began a new project - a musical, based on «The Little Prince» by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. Music was written by Richard Cocciante and lyrics - by Elizabeth Anais.

Daniel played the Pilot. The musical has been performed in «Le Petit casino» in Paris. The premiere was held on Oct. 2, 2002. Of course, «The Little Prince» was a less success, but for Daniel`s fans it was another unforgettable opportunity to meet him.

In summer 2006 Cocciante gave a farewell tour in Italy, where he announced the end of his singing career and wish to devote himself to composing only.
