**Hernández joined the French group Gold before embarking on a solo career, releasing his song "Born to be living" in late 1978, a famous single that immediately became an international hit. The world of the late 1970s and early 1980s was heavily broadcast on the radio and in surrounding clubs.**

> **According to Hernandez, "Music is in my blood. My father was a guitarist in a big band and my mother was a singer. I moved to Paris in the late '60s and worked hard in a bar band for most of the '70s." . , before beginning to write and record Born to be Alive. The lyrics of that song were a reference to the way I was living at the time: refusing to settle down and keep chasing my dreams."**
