Boombass

Hubert Blanc-Francard fell into music as a child. As a teenager, thanks to the home studio set up in his bedroom by his father, he began to play with drum machines and synthesizers. The 80s ended when he joined Polydor as AD and participated in the emergence of French rap, co-producing MC Solaar's first album with Jimmy Jay. A few years later, he discovered electronic music with producer Philippe Zdar: under the pseudonym BoomBass, he created, with his alter ego, the Cassius duo which became, alongside Daft Punk, and under the leadership of the Ed Banger label, directed by Pedro Winter, one of the spearheads of the French touch, this movement which has allowed French music to shine throughout the world.
