Born in Saint-Denis (Seine-Saint-Denis) on 31 July 1977, Fabien Marsaud saw his destiny thwarted as a teenager by a swimming pool accident. Despite a year of rehabilitation, he was left with aftereffects that forced him to walk with a crutch. Having hoped to make his passion for sports his daily life, he turned to poetry and rap under the name Grand Corps Malade. Discovered and embraced by the general public in 2006, he was the first artist to bring slam poetry out of confidentiality to reach a broader audience. This everyday poet, who transcends his physical disability through writing, achieved widespread success right from his first album, Midi 20. Following a transitional sequel (Un Enfant de la Ville), Grand Corps Malade broadened his musical palette with 3ème Temps in 2010. In 2013, he called upon Ibrahim Maalouf to set his texts to music on Funambule. Two years later, a host of artists including Renaud, Charles Aznavour, and Hubert-Félix Thiéfaine answered the call for the album Il Nous Restera Ça. The success of his autobiographical book Patients (2012) led him to bring his experience to the big screen in 2017, for a film nominated three times at the Césars. The slam artist then devoted himself to his sixth album Plan B, released in 2018. On the subsequent duets album Mesdames, released in 2020, Grand Corps Malade invited Véronique Sanson, Louane, Suzane, Julie and Camille Berthollet, Camille Lellouch, and Laura Smet.
