1) Philippe Katerine (… Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one artist with this name:
1) Philippe Katerine (known as Katerine for his artistic work) is a French singer and composer, who published eight records since the beginning of his career in 1991.
He was born in 1968.
2) Katerine Avgoustakis is a Belgian singer and was the winner of the 2005 Belgian Star Academy, similar to American Idol in the United States. She was born on September 16, 1983, to a Greek father and a Belgian mother.
Currently, she lives in Maasmechelen. Avgoustakis used to be a beauty specialist and before that a saleswoman. During the third quarter of 2005, it was announced that Avgoustakis had been dating Pim Symoens, who was #4 in Star Academy and who also works for JIMtv, a popular Flemish music channel.
Avgoustakis plays the piano and used to be in a choir. She was also a member of her first band Indiana, with whom she participated with for Eurovision Song Contest a couple of years ago, with the song Imitation Love.
Due to the failure of Indiana, she entered Star Academy in Flanders. In 2005, she worked her way to the finale and won the contest and a record contract. Avgoustakis's debut single New Day, released in July 2005 in Belgium, peaked at #2 in the Belgian UltraTop 50 chart. "New Day" was written and produced by Regi Penxten & Filip Vandueren, the team behind Milk Inc. Three months later, she received the TMF Flanders award for Best New National Artist for the song. Also the song was certified gold in Belgium. Her selfnamed debut album Katerine was released on November 14, 2005 in Belgium. The album is to be released in May in the Netherlands. Due the 'unexpected' sudden death of her mother, her second single, Here Come All the Boys, was delayed to be released in October 2005. This is the first single she also released in the Netherlands, that peaked at #89 in the Dutch Mega Singles Top 100. The song is also featured on the hits compilation HitBox, which was released on March 13, 2006, containing hits like Ricky Martin's I Don't Care, Rihanna's If It's Lovin' That You Want and the Michael Jackson cover Say Say Say (Waiting 4 U) by Hi_Tack.
Avgoustakis won the first Belgian pre-selection for Eurosong 2006 on January 8, 2006 with the song Watch Me Move. Because of this, she was sure to have a place in the pre-finale rounds, however the judges thought her voice wasn't powerful enough to win. Despite being considered as one of the finalists, Katerine remained in the semi.
The third single from her album Katerine, Take Me Home, was released on April 4th 2006 in Belgium, with Watch Me Move as B-side.
These days, Katerine is back with a new single called 'Livewire'. Despite the high hopes, the single hasn't done as well as expected.

On est là pour qui
Dans les magasins
A se prendre la tête
Au fond qu'est ce qu'on veut
Au fond qu'est ce qu'on cherche
Quand on s'prend la tête
Mais qu'est ce qu'on attend
Des bisoux (x15)
Quand on se dit fuck
J'te défonce la gueule
Tout en insultant
Les papa les maman
Au fond qu'est ce qu'on veut
Au fond qu'est ce qu'on cherche
Quand on se dit fuck
Mais qu'est ce qu'on attend
Des bisoux (x15)
De façon générale
Et très globalement
En définitive
Mais qu'est ce qu'on attend
Pour se faire
Des bisoux (x15)
The song "Des Bisoux" by Katerine is a playful and catchy tune with a deeper message hidden in its lyrics. The song begins by questioning the purpose of our existence and our actions in life. The lyricist ponders why humans spend so much time in malls and shopping centers, arguing and worrying about trivial things, and ultimately wonders what it is that we truly want and seek in life. The phrase "Mais qu'est-ce qu'on attend?" (But what are we waiting for?) is repeated throughout the chorus, emphasizing the need for change and action.
The second verse shifts gears, discussing the anger and frustration that can arise from interpersonal conflicts. The lyricist poses the same question again, wondering what it is that we seek when we engage in such negative behavior. The chorus returns, this time with a playful twist, as the answer is revealed to be something as simple and pure as a kiss - "des bisoux".
The song's message is both thought-provoking and uplifting, reminding us to focus on what truly matters in life and to embrace love, positivity, and affection.

Vu aux francofolies, excentrique comme à son habitude, et dans la rue , hyper timide et introverti. Bilan général, un bon gars qui n'a pas le 🍈
