Born in Brussels to a Belgian mother and French father, Zegers began singing in cabaret at the age of 16 and in his spare time would participate in song contests while pursuing a career as a journalist. He released two singles, "La nuit" and "Pour elle", in 1983. He was then asked to record "LA en Olympie", the official Belgian song for the 1984 Summer Olympics.
In 1984, Zegers's song "Avanti la vie" was chosen as the Belgian representative in the 29th Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 5 May in Luxembourg City.[1] "Avanti la vie" scored 70 points to finish in fifth place of 19 entries.[2]
After Eurovision, Zegers released one more single, "1001 amis", and continued to pursue his journalistic career. He published a novel entitled Le nœud and several volumes of poetry.
