Biography

It chooses like name of artist “Ridan”, i.e. “Nadir” with back.

Old Rap fear, born in 1975, (he in particular was producer of the maximum 30 rappeurs against the censure ), he leaves in 2004 a first disc: the dream or the life at Sony/BMG.

Composed of rather black songs, it draws its inspiration at Renaud or Georges Brassens to sing the Racisme with the daily newspaper ( the daily newspaper ), cynicism ( Partie golf ), or envies it return to the sources ( the farmer ). Its album surprises, and confirms as Disiz the plague that the city can invest, successfully, of new paths.

It is made cantor of the vindicatory French song, the soft melodies and the words as it likes to say it “rough”. On a side, a stripped music, Piano S, Violin S, only, merry or bucolic. And then its voice, serious, which surprises, when it spits the reality of its daily newspaper. But the artist dreams, and it is one strolls in its dreams to which it invites his public. More politicized, some of its texts speak about the place of the individual in our time and he does not hesitate to propose his own individuality by evoking his bitterness and his mean hopes. Ridan invents a new French song between the violence of the Rap and the tepid softness of the instruments.
