Biography

In the 1980s, Phil Barney had several success on the French Singles Chart, [Phil Barney's discography and peak positions in France [http://lescharts.com/showinterpret.asp?interpret=Phil+Barney Lescharts.com] (Retrieved October 11, 2008)] including the big hit "Un Enfant de toi", his first single, which was a number three hit in November 1987. "Avec qui tu vis", "Tellement je pense à toi", "Il est parti" and "Loin de tes bras" were among his other singles, but they achieved a moderate success in comparison with his debut single. Most of his songs are pop ballads related with romantic themes. However, throughout his career, Barney changed his musical style and also recorded rap songs.
