Monique Andrée Serf, said Barbara (Barbara Brody in its infancy) is a singer, songwriter and performer French born in Paris, June 9, 1930 and died in Neuilly-sur-Seine, 24 November 1997. His lyric poetry, the melodic beauty of his compositions, and the depth of emotion that exuded his voice secured him an audience that followed her for forty years. Monique Serf spent the first years of his life surrounded by his father, Jacques, of Alsatian Jewish descent, his mother, Esther, his Russian grandmother and John, his older brother by two years. S family has grown: a second daughter, Regine, was born in Roanne in 1938, a second son, Claude, in Tarbes in 1942. Long before war was declared, his youth was marked by successive moves, they will step in to escape the Nazi occupation hunting for Jews under the Vichy government. S separations be added to defeat the denunciations. At the end of the war, the family members find themselves in Vésinet. First vocalizations Barbara went to the Square des Batignolles. Monique is 16 years old. Few studies drawn, its ambition for a long time to become a pianist and singer. Her parents promise to give him singing lessons. It's included in those of Madame Dusséqué. His life is changed. After a few lessons, his teacher in this Master Paulet, a teacher at the Paris Conservatory as a student who takes. In 1946, the Serf s settled at 50, rue Vitruvius, in the 20th district. The summer is clouded by the death of the grandmother. In the new apartment, a rented piano by his father is installed; Monique plays of instinct, without taking lessons. The girl entered the Conservatory as an auditor but the repertoire of classical singing, she prefers the popular song. It closes the current. In 1948, after a hearing at the Théâtre Mogador, she was hired as a chorister in the Imperial Operetta Violets. One day, his father suddenly leaves home never to return. Soon, the rental of the piano can not be honored. S forced to part with him, she saw a tear. The Belgian period: Monique Serf Barbara becomes. Desperate to realize her dream: to be "singing piano", she left Paris in 1950. With the money lent by a friend, she goes to a cousin in Brussels that she left after two months. Without resources or knowledge, life is difficult. Randomly from a meeting she joined a community of artists in Charleroi, who meet in a room called the Attic. There she finds the help and began singing in nightclubs under the name Barbara Brody (inspired by the name of his grandmother, Varvara Brodsky). His repertoire consists of songs of Edith Piaf, Juliette Greco and Germaine Montero. In late 1951, she returned to Paris to-night hearings. She returned to Brussels, where a friend of the band from Charleroi gave him the opportunity to sing. It is related with Ethery Rouchadze, a pianist who agrees to the support and from whom she perfected the piano. The latter presents him Claude Sluys, young apprentice lawyer [3]. A regular venues, he prides himself to write some songs. Late 1952, he unearths the "Theater of the White Horse" and use his connections to open a tavern so that it's produced there under the name Barbara.
