DeepL or
Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia.

Gérard Manset (also known as Manset; born 21 August 1945 in
Saint-Cloud, Hauts-de-Seine) is a French singer-songwriter,
painter, photographer and writer. He is best known for his musical work.[1] Since 1972, the covers of his albums state his name as simply "Manset".
Manset spent his childhood in the suburbs of Paris (Saint-Cloud) and then in the sixteenth
arrondissement of Paris. He failed his
baccalauréat due to a failing grade in French.
Manset began to play guitar, but was also interested in the
drums. He borrowed his sister's piano book, and began learning to play the piano as well.
The mystery that was created around Manset was born from the rarity of his media appearances, his refusal to give concerts, and, above all, the uncompromising character of his work.
