Jean-Paul Roy
Illustration — Jean-Paul Roy playing guitar with Les Hyènes in 2007 Jean-Paul Roy (born 14 August 1964 in Civray, Vienne) has been the bassist of French rock group Noir Désir since 1996. Before joining the band, he accompanied Noir Désir on tour as a guitar technician. When the bassist Frédéric Vidalenc left the group in 1996 to pursue other musical interests, Jean-Paul Roy was naturally chosen as his successor as he was a friend of the group, played both guitar and bass guitar, and knew how to play Noir Désir's songs.
