Nilda Fernandez (born October 25, 1957, Barcelona[1]) is a French chansonnier of Spanish descent.

Biography

Daniel Fernandes was born on October 25, 1957, in a small town near Barcelona in the family of Andalusian Protestants. When the boy turns 6 years old, Daniel's parents move to France and settle in Lyon. Later, Daniel returns to his native Spain and studies in Barcelona philology.

The first disc Le Bonheur Comptant is released in 1981, but remains unnoticed (now it does not even enter into the official discography). Later, Daniel takes a pseudonym Nilda, rearranging the letters in his own name. In 1987, the album Madrid, Madrid, was released, which became the visiting card of the artist and brought him not one musical award.

In 1995, Nilda released a novel Ça Repart Pour un Soliloque, written on behalf of a woman, which causes an inexhaustible flow of questions from journalists about their sexual orientation.[2] And later, during the collaboration with the Russian pop singer Boris Moiseev, the artist will be presented as gay.[3]

In 1999, with Castelar 704, he wrote poems by Federico García Lorca (1898-1936), with Spanish guitarists, among them Tomatito, following Paco Ibáñez. In 1996, after paying tribute to Gérard Manset in a collective album, he sang in 1999, co-productions of the titles of his favorite French singers: Léo Ferré, Barbara, Jacques Dutronc, Michel Polnareff, Jane Birkin, Dick Annegarn, etc.

Nilda Fernández disappeared from the first plane after a tour in Russia (2000). In 2006 he resumed with recitals in France, Belgium, Russia and Switzerland and Cuba at the invitation of the French Alliance of Havana and Santiago de Cuba.

In March 2007, the second book by Nilda Les Chants du monde was published, based on a diary written by the artist over the years lived in Russia.

Fernández returned to the stage with a self-titled album (Nilda Fernández), which was released on January 8, 2010.[4]

Personal life

He has been living with a Russian wife for many years.[5]
