Early life[]

Fabian is the only child of Pierre Crokaert, who is Flemish, and Maria Luisa Serio, a native of Sicily. She spent her first five years in her mother's hometown of Catania in Sicily. After that she moved to Ruisbroek near Brussels, Belgium. Italian was her first language.

She began singing, dancing and taking piano lessons at a young age, and began formal music lessons at age eight. She began writing and performing her own songs during her ten years of formal music study. Fabian's songs were influenced by her classical vocal train

Born in 1959 in Grasse, Didier Sustrac picked up the family guitar in his eighth year, which he learned on his own, like a grown-up. By the age of ten, he was already writing songs. Growing up between Grasse and Avignon, in a family of music lovers, he listened to everything from Jeanne Moreau to James Brown, from Billie Holiday to Led Zep. But he remembers having searched for a different path from rock as a teenager, somewhere between the cool jazz of Chet Baker and the Californian jazz of Michael Franks. Not forgetting the bucolic and romantic Pierre Barouh, the ludophilia composer of the iconic theme of the film Un homme et une femme (1966), who was for many in his desire to travel.

Ten years later, nourished by the stories of his grandmother, a poet and painter, he set off to explore Venezuela, then headed for Brazil in 1979, spurred on by a record by João Gilberto and Stan Getz. Arriving in Rio during the dictatorship, he immediately understood that he had finally found what he was looking for: the smooth harmonies, the African rhythms of the Afro-sambas and João's bossa jazz, cut for the sweetness of his temperament and his whispering voice. “I took up bossa like the yéyés took up rock" he would later say. He stayed there for three years, enough time to swap his folk guitar for a violão and take his first classical guitar lessons, but also to learn Portuguese and understand that his writing language would remain French forever.

On his return home at the age of 23, he began his new life as a bossa singer in the piano bars of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, before setting off for the capital to try his hand at labels. In vain... The talent’s discoverer Varda Kakon (Dany Brillant, Lara Fabian...) was the first to believe in his swaying swing, in his dream world, in his "music for women", and convinced the producer Marc Lumbroso to sign him in 1993: first record, Zanzibar (Remark), first hit, Tout
