French singer-songwriter, guitarist, and record producer renowned as one of France's most influential and commercially successful musicians.Born in Paris, Goldman rose to fame in the 1970s with the band Tai Phong before launching a massively successful solo career in the 1980s. He later formed the trio Fredericks Goldman Jones. Known for poetic lyrics addressing social issues and universal emotions, he has sold over 30 million records and composed hits for Céline Dion, Johnny Hallyday, and Khaled. A discreet figure, he avoids media attention despite his iconic status.

• Goldman performs incognito at charity events and anonymously funds humanitarian causes, notably Les Restos du Cœur (a French food charity), co-writing their anthem "La Chanson des Restos".
• He wrote under pseudonyms like Sam Brewski and O.Menor for artists including Patricia Kaas and Lorie, concealing his identity to let songs stand on their own merit.
• In 1990, Goldman survived a helicopter crash that killed three colleagues; the trauma influenced his introspective album "Entre Gris Clair et Gris Foncé".
• Despite retirement claims in 2003, he secretly composed for artists like Christine and the Queens (2018) and authored France's 2024 Olympic anthem.
