A strong choice for the good of his career. Guest on the set of the show 8:30 p.m. Sunday, broadcast on France 2 this February 25, Patrick Fiori spoke about many personal subjects. During the exchange, Laurent Delahousse questioned him in particular about his choice to change his last name. As a reminder, Patrick Chouchayan decided to take his mother’s name and became Patrick Fiori at the age of 14. “Was it too complicated? Did you talk to your father about it?” asked the journalist. “Of course”, replied the singer, specifying that everyone was misusing his last name. “I went to my father and said, ‘Dad, is Chouchayan… Do you give me permission to take Fiori?“ he continued.
And if Patrick Fiori was also determined to change his surname, it is above all because he was already thinking about a career as a singer. An ambition that he had also shared with his father at the time. “Maybe I want to try being a singer,” he assured her. Understanding, the artist’s father agreed that he change his last name. “My father said to me: “Of course, it’s simpler‘”, he remembered to Laurent Delahousse.
