De Palmas (real name Gérald Gardrinier) was born on October 14, 1967 in Saint-Denis, French Reunion. At 10, he moved to Aix-En-Provence, France. He started to play bass & guitar & was a member of the band Max Valentin (nowadays Les Valentins), produced by Etienne Daho. Gérald participated to a contest organised by Francis Cabrel & recorded his first single "Sur La Route". His first album La Dernière Année came out in 1994 & Gérald received a Victoire De La Musique for "Artist Revelation" the following year.
In 1996, his son Victor was born. In 1997, Gérald came back with his second album Les Lois De La Nature but this was less successful. He came back in 2000 with his third album Marcher Dans Le Sable : the first single, "J'En Rêve Encore", was written by Jean-Jacques Goldman. In 2002, Gérald received another Victoire De La Musique for "Male Artist" & composed Johnny Hallyday's "Marie". The same year, his song "Tomber" was covered by Céline Dion under the name "Ten Days". He also composed Garou's "Et Si On Dormait" & recorded a cover of Cat Stevens' "The First Cut Is The Deepest" with Sheryl Crow. In 2003, his daughter Rose was born. Gérald came back in 2004 with his fourth album Un Homme Sans Racines. Unfortunately, disappointed, he left Polydor in 2008.
