His musical career started in the 1970s, marking the beginning of a long and influential artistic journey.

Musical Career:
Renaud released his first album, simply titled "Renaud," in 1975, but it was with the album "Laisse béton" in 1977 that he gained national recognition in France. He is known for his incisive lyrics, socially engaged songs, and poetic texts that address social, political, and personal topics. Among his most famous albums are "Mistral gagnant" (1985), "Boucan d'enfer" (2002), and "Molly Malone - Balade irlandaise" (2009).

Renaud has also written songs about alcoholism, life in the suburbs, homelessness, and many other social issues. His songs are often infused with humor and emotion, creating a deep connection with his audience.

Influences:
Renaud's influences are diverse and reflect his passion for literature, folk music, and socially conscious artists. He was influenced by writers like Georges Brassens and Léo Ferré, whose poetic lyrics shaped his own style. Additionally, Celtic music, particularly Irish music, had a significant impact on his musical repertoire.

Musical Style:
Renaud's musical style is primarily rooted in French chanson, but it also incorporates elements of folk, rock, and Celtic music. His distinctive voice and storytelling through songs make him a unique artist. He is recognized for his ability to evoke deep emotions through heartfelt lyrics and memorable melodies.

In summary, Renaud is a pillar of French chanson whose career has been marked by social activism, poetic lyrics, and a distinctive musical style. His influence on Francophone music and his impact on society make him a revered artist in France and beyond.
