Although Bruel aspired to be a football star as a youth, he decided to pursue singing after seeing Michel Sardou in 1975. His first success came as an actor, however, in 1979's Le Coup de sirocco. He continued acting in films, on television and in the theater while pursuing his singing career. His first single, "Vide" ("Empty"), released in 1982, was not a success, but the follow up, "Marre de cette nana-là" ("Fed up with that chick"), was a hit.
In 2003, he had his last name officially changed to Bruel-Benguigui, his stage name with his birthname, before his partner Amanda Maruani gave birth to his first child, Oscar, on August 19. On September 21, 2004, he wed the 24-year-old Maruani; it is his first marriage. His second child, Léon Bruel was born on the 28th September, 2005.
As of 2004 Bruel has acted in more than 40 different television and film productions and made five studio albums and several live albums. His last album to date is Entre Deux (2002), a double CD of classic chanson that features duets with Charles Aznavour, Jean-Louis Aubert, Jean-Jacques Goldman, Alain Souchon and Renaud, among others. It sold two million copies and made Bruel France's best paid singer of the year. At the beginning of 2005, in response to the South Asian tsunami of December 26, 2004, Bruel wrote the song "Et puis la terre" to benefit the Red Cross.

Regarde Devant Toi
Patrick Bruel Lyrics
Admirez mon costume,
Cent pour cent goudron plume.
J' l'ai gagné au poker,
Fait banco sur une paire.
Ils s'excitent sur le quai, ouf !
On a mis l' moteur.
Mes tailleurs sont moins riches
Et moi j' me tire ailleurs.
Même si j' suis clandestin
Sur c' bateau qui va trop loin,
Même si l'hôtesse est belle,
Si j'ai pas d' ticket pour elle.
Via New York, j' me fais la belle.
- Regarde devant toi,
Me dit Miss Liberty en me montrant du doigt.
- Regarde devant toi.
Leurs fusils sur le quai m' laissaient pas vraiment l' choix.
Deux, trois siècles avant moi,
Ces pionniers dev'nus rois
Débarquèrent goudronnés
Et plumés plus que moi.
Derrière un bloc, je croise
Mon premier milliardaire.
Paraît qu' t'as une ardoise
Qui date de mon grand-père.
Même si un trou d' mémoire
L'empêche d'aimer mon histoire,
Même s'il la trouve bizarre,
J' l'ai un peu aidé à m' croire.
J' lui ai emprunté quelques dollars.
- Regarde devant toi,
Me dit Miss Liberty en me montrant du doigt.
- Regarde devant toi.
Oui merci mais tu vois, une fois d' plus, j'ai pas l' choix.
Même si le juge se marre,
J' me r'trouve entre deux taulards.
Même si l' bateau repart,
C' coup-ci j' suis plus clandestin.
Dix flics me montrent le chemin.
- Regarde devant toi,
Me dit Miss Liberty en me montrant le large.
- Regarde devant toi.
Oui merci mais tu vois, j'ai des gardiens à charge.
- Regarde devant toi,
Pourquoi même les statues veulent me montrer du doigt ?
- Regarde devant toi.
Arrêtez d' me dire ça. Miss Liberty, tais-toi !
- Regarde devant toi,
Avant de traverser l'Océan comme un barge.
- Regarde devant toi,
Me dit Miss Liberty en me montrant le large.
- Regarde devant toi.
Miss Liberty, tais-toi. J' peux pas rentrer chez moi
- Regarde devant toi.
Le goudron ou les plumes, ce s'ra ça mon seul choix.
- Regarde devant toi
