Backstory: from his birth to until his 18 birthday, Henry Vermont lived in a small town in Lorraine. Fascinated with the great singer of his time he his passion for singing started at the age of 15, mostly after seeing how well those great singer lived. He wanted to be like them, famous, rich, adulated by the public.

From this point on Henry started to work to make some money to later start his singing career and go to the big city, Paris.

When he was 16, having what he thought was enough money, he said goodbye to his small birthplace and took the train to paris.

Henry was already seeing himself under the spotlight, surrounded by adoring fan. This pushed him to use a good chunk of the money he saved on a fancy blue suit from one of the finest establishment in paris.

Henry was already seeing himself on the top of the chart, his name bigger than the other singer, women crawling to him for a chance to talk to with him. With the remaining money, he promoted his first concert. Without any surprise not many people had come but henry rationalised it, his name wasn't big enough yet "but soon it will change" he was saying to himself to cope.

The year passed and Henry success was still far in the horizon, he lived from the small pay of mediocre restaurant and bar, this was far from his expectation but it was ok, he loved seeing the public sitting in silence after his prestation, he forced himself to believe it at least.

As more year passed, the hope of becoming famous were fading but henry grasped to it like his life depended on it, otherwise his effort would only have been a pathetic joke, his life wasted chasing a dream that was impossible, rigged from the start. He was certain to be talented but just unlucky.

If the public understood his song, if he had more money, if he had famous people rooting for him He would have be as famous as he wanted, this was the excuse he was telling himself to cope with his failure of a career, it wasn't his fault, never his fault and it would never be his fault.

As henry was getting older he was getting more and more bitter about the other singers, the public and the industry. He tried everything, he singed about love, tragedy, war and everything he could think of a song for but yet he was still as unpopular. The reputation of him being drunkard that hated the public didn't help.

Henry still believe that one day he'll became famous, he just have to tough it out and continue until his luck turn around. One day he will be under the spot light, acclamed by critics and living a luxurious life he just had to continue singing.

Now he spend most of his nights in pityfull bar and low rated restaurant of the slums of paris for either a meagre pay or some free drinks.
