Michel Armengot (born 16 September 1962), more commonly known as Art Mengo, is a French singer and songwriter. Although he was born in the Occitan city of Toulouse in France, he is of Spanish descent.[1]
Early life
Mengo was born approximately 70% deaf. Despite this handicap, his mother gave him a keyboard, which set him on his future career. When he was a teenager, corrective surgery on his ears helped him regain his hearing. Music, however, was not Mengo's first career plan: after completing his baccalauréat, Mengo studied chemistry and physics at university.[1]
Career
During his university years, Mengo played piano at a local bar during the evenings. Mengo had purchased an 8 track recorder, which influenced his move into the music industry. With Mengo writing the music, and his brother-in-law Patrice Guirao producing lyrics, a considerable inventory of music was created.[1]
This work got Mengo a record contract in 1988. Shortly thereafter he released his first single, "Script error: No such module "Lang".", which was a hit on the French Top 50.[2] His music quickly became popular, and by 1992 he was asked to write a song for French superstar Johnny Hallyday, "Script error: No such module "Lang".".Script error: No such module "Unsubst". In 1993, he wrote an entire album for German singer Ute Lemper. He performed the song "Script error: No such module "Lang"." with Ute on this album.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
