In 2014, French 79 burst onto the French music scene, and in just a few months became an international figure. His first EP, Angel, put him on the list of today's most important electronic music producers. This ambassador of the Marseille electronic scene was soon tapped to work on various projects by artist such as Husbands, Nasser and Kid Francescoli.
With his first and second full-length releases — Joshua (2019) released after Olympic, his debut in 2016 — he wanted to pay tribute to the era in which he was raised, the 80s and 90s. The music includes synthetic music as sound references, that mix the atmosphere of the typical “French Touch” movie soundtracks. In 2021 he published The Unreal Story of Lou Reed, together with Frédéric Nevchehirlian, another jewel of contemporary vocal electronic pop.
His latest and recent album Teenagers is a tribute to all the music the came before him. See French 79 perform live at Razz 2.
