[edit] Dummy biography
This biography is imaginary, it describes Helmut Fritz character's life, not Éric Greff's
Born in Reinbek (Germany), the little Helmut Günter von Fritz is Rudy von Fritz and Annegret Spiegeln only child. His parents run a Fritzhoff, a small factory of knitted pullovers, that guarantees them low earnings. But they live a life of Riley.
In 1998, Helmut's great-grand uncle, Baron Titten von Fritz, dies gored and trampled by a wild boar while game hunting. Helmut is the only heir to a 300 millions deutschemarks fortune. Rich but also stingy, he buys a secondhand Vespa, gives his parents some money and leaves Germany.
He arrives in Paris and putting up little-by-little with his fortune, he leads a high life. However, this life of « happy purse », as he describes it, weighs heavy more and more on him.
In 2009, victim of a profound boredom, Helmut cracks up. Too many high parties, haute couture, previews, everything... Ça l'énerve (It gets on his nerves)! He wants to talk about it with someone and meets DJ Laurent Konrad in a Virgin Galactic queue. Konrad suggests making a song about Helmut's dissolute life. [edit] Discography [edit] Albums
