The last of seven children, he discovered the rock,
pop and disco discs his older brothers were
listening to. When he turns 4, he receives a small
record player as a present on which he spins his
first 45” single “You Got The Power” by the funk band War. His three big brothers even
made a discomobile, a portable DJ set up, to play at parties and weddings around the
city of Versailles. His big leap into music is when he discovers the New Wave genre and
bands like The Cure, The Jam (his first LP), the Stranglers, Joy Division and New Order.
