Christophe Miossec is a French singer and songwriter born in Brest, Brittany, France on 24 December 1964. Christophe Miossec was not new to the world of music when he met his first great success.

Between 14 and 17, he was in a teenage band, Printemps Noir ("Black Spring"), touring around Brest. After obtaining his Baccalauréat in literature, Miossec went to study history at the Brest University, and quickly got bored. He then worked some time for the paper Ouest France.
