Mini bio
How it started.
Before Bob Sinclar, there was Christophe Le Friant, a Paris music fan drawn to hip-hop and acid jazz. He made music under names including Chris the French Kiss and The Mighty Bop. In interviews, he remembers practicing on decks his mother bought him and learning how to build a night around the people on the dance floor.
Finding his sound.
He co-founded Yellow Productions with Alain Hô, better known as DJ Yellow. The Bob Sinclar name came from the Jean-Paul Belmondo film Le Magnifique. His 1998 debut album Paradise brought the disco-sampling house sound of Gym Tonic and The Ghetto to a wider audience.
The songs fans share.
Love Generation, featuring Gary Pine, arrived in 2005. World, Hold On with Steve Edwards and Rock This Party with Cutee B. followed in 2006. These collaborations sit at the heart of his catalog, alongside later returns such as the 2022 FISHER rework of World, Hold On.
Beyond one sound.
Africanism gave him room to explore Latin, jazz and African influences with other artists. For Made in Jamaica, he worked with Sly & Robbie on reggae versions of his music. The album earned a 2011 Grammy nomination for Best Reggae Album. He has also revisited the early French Touch years in interviews around the book Bob Sinclar et DJ Yellow: Nos 30 ans de French Touch.
