Biography
Biography
After having perfected his piano and percussion for seven years at the conservatory, Garraud decided to move toward electronic music. He moved to Paris in 1989 to work as producer for Maxximum radio station. He then began to DJ at The Boy, the Parisian club that first initiated the discovery of the techno phenomenon in France. Becoming the pioneer of numerical music, Garraud created his own recording studio in the middle of Paris, which allowed him to remix, compose or produce artists such as David Guetta, Jean-Michel Jarre, Paul Johnson, Deep Dish, David Bowie, OMD, Kylie Minogue, Mylène Farmer, Cassius, Cerrone, Moby, Robbie Rivera. Nowadays, he is uses a Space Invader mascot to identify with his fan community. In February 2026, Garraud published an extensive 528-page autobiography titled "I Love My DJ Life". The book chronicles his career trajectory from his early beginnings at the Moulin des Rochettes in Nantes to his established residency in Ibiza and his subsequent move to Los Angeles in 2013. The publication serves as a comprehensive record of his collaborative work with artists like David Guetta and Jean-Michel Jarre, as well as his long-standing contributions to Radio FG and the Ibiza Fever compilations.
