Helmut Fritz is the stage name of French singer Éric Greff, who was born in 1975 in Forbach, France and who grew up in Béning-lès-Saint-Avold in the Moselle département. Greff is known for his 2009 single "Ça m'énerve" ("It Bugs Me"), in which he portrays a German dandy living in Paris. The single, produced by Laurent Konrad, was released on March 2009 and rapidly reached number one in France.

To reinforce his identification with the song "Ça m'énerve", Eric Greff wrote a fictional biography for Helmut Fritz.
