Biography
Grand Corps Malade is the stage name of Fabien Marsaud, a French poet and songwriter born on 31 July 1977. His seven studio albums have all reached the top five on the French SNEP chart. He started writing and performing a capella at slam events in 2003, gaining traction before signing with Universal's AZ affiliate and releasing his debut album Midi 20, which became a top-ten selling record of the year in France. His follow-up albums Enfant de la ville (2008) and 3ème temps (2010) saw less commercial success. The 2013 album Funambule drew inspiration from family themes, while Il nous restera ça (2015) featured 11 collaborations with other musicians. Plan B (2018) marked a return to form, reaching number two on the SNEP chart. His breakthrough came with Mesdames in 2020, which topped the French charts and featured ten duets with women; the lead single "Mais je t'aime," a duet with Camille Lellouche, became his highest-ranking song on the French singles chart. GCM has received three Victories of Music awards from the French Ministry of Culture. As a Leo born in mid-summer, GCM channels the sign's natural expressiveness through lyrical performance [birth fact]. His life-path number is 8, numerologically linked to material mastery and resilience [birth fact]. His stage name carries literal weight: it means "tall, sick body" in French, referencing both his height of nearly 6'4" (1.94m) and the spinal injury that forces him to walk with a crutch. This injury stemmed from a diving accident in 1997 that doctors initially said would leave him unable to walk.
