Gérard POPY, auteur compositeur, membre de la Sacem, est né en 1951. Après des études musicales classiques, il s’intéresse à l’harmonie et à l’arrangement musical en se penchant sur les partitions de son grand-père, Francis POPY, célèbre compositeur des années 1900-1920.
Sur les traces de celui-ci, Gérard POPY a consacré toute sa vie à la musique. Propriétaire d’un magasin audio et d’un studio d’enregistrement pendant plus de 25 ans, il a composé une oeuvre musicale importante et variée.
Multi instrumentiste, c’est tout particulièrement dans la musique de films qu’il excelle, en témoigne la sortie du CD « Quand Bruno Giannetti joue Popy » en 2000, dont certains extraits sont disponibles sur ce site.
Il se consacre aujourd’hui exclusivement à la composition et à la diffusion de son oeuvre musicale dans son nouveau studio d’enregistrement .
