His debut 36 Erreurs, released on Kindercore in the summer of 1999, showcased his intricate lyrical detail and featured a collaboration with French actress Valerie Lemercier. Aside from his work with his own material, Charry has also composed music for various small budget films, commercials, and theater productions.
Charry is a former member of "Oui Oui," a French pop group formed in 1983. Guitarist/singer Étienne Charry and drummer Michel Gondry met at secondary school in Sèvres in 1978. The repertoire of songs Oui Oui built up was a reaction to what was termed cold wave music in France and the more politicised rock groups of the era. Numerous musicians passed through the group's ranks in the early years. With the addition of keyboardist Gilles Chapat and bassist Nicolas Dufournet, a more settled line-up was established.
In 1989 Oui Oui released their first album Chacun Tout Le Monde on the Just'in label. Following the departure of Gilles Chapat, the second Oui Oui album Formidable (1991, released by FNAC Music) was recorded by the trio of Charry, Gondry and Dufournet. Keyboardist Matthieu Ballet would later take Chapat's place. Both Oui Oui albums are currently out of print, having been issued by labels which would cease operations within months of the respective albums' releases.
Oui Oui disbanded in 1992. Michel Gondry has since gone on to become an acclaimed movie and music video director. The film clips he directed for Oui Oui would later feature on the 2003 DVD The Work of Michel Gondry.

Spring
Etienne Charry Lyrics
Break all my bones
I'll learn to walk again
Break all my bones
I'll learn to dance again
Here comes the springtime
April rains bring May blooms
Here comes the timechange
Green lawns and long afternoons
Wipe off all my charms
I'll learn to fly again
Wipe off all my charms
I'll learn to breathe underwater again
Here comes the springtime
Daffodils in Easter hats
Here comes the timechange
Spring forward, no more falling back
Laugh at all my dreams
I'll learn to see again
Laugh at all my dreams
I'll learn to hope and to try again
Here comes the springtime
Bare branches give birth to leaves
Here comes the timechange
Holding a new hand, grateful for the breeze
Still my swollen lips
I'll learn to speak again
Still my swollen lips
I'll learn to sing again
I'll learn to walk again
Break all my bones
I'll learn to dance again
Here comes the springtime
April rains bring May blooms
Here comes the timechange
Green lawns and long afternoons
Wipe off all my charms
Wipe off all my charms
I'll learn to breathe underwater again
Here comes the springtime
Daffodils in Easter hats
Here comes the timechange
Spring forward, no more falling back
Laugh at all my dreams
I'll learn to see again
Laugh at all my dreams
I'll learn to hope and to try again
Here comes the springtime
Bare branches give birth to leaves
Here comes the timechange
Holding a new hand, grateful for the breeze
Still my swollen lips
I'll learn to speak again
Still my swollen lips
I'll learn to sing again
