Biography
An unusual figure on the French electronic scene, Sébastien Tellier (born in Plessis-Bouchard, Oise, on February 22, 1975) has established himself firmly in the public eye with his rugby-like build, his 2005 "Ritournelle ", which illustrates commercials, and a daring album: Sexuality (2008), a soundtrack to an imaginary erotic film released on the Record Makers label by the duo Air. Surprisingly selected for the Eurovision Song Contest in 2008, he provoked controversy with the English-language song "Divine". A revised version of his album, Sexuality Remixed, was released in summer 2010. In 2012, the imposing bearded composer returned as a guru with an album under the sign of a mysterious "Blue Alliance", a spiritual exercise entitled My God Is Blue, complete with the anthem "Pépito bleu". The following year, in addition to composing a previously unreleased soundtrack for the film Confessions d'un enfant du siècle, he produced the album Confection. The musician then left for Brazil, where he began recording his next album, L'Aventura (2014), completed in the studios of Jean-Michel Jarre and Philippe Zdar. Two new soundtracks follow: the Saint Amour EP and the Marie et les Naufragés album (2016). In 2017, he took part in the short-lived Mind Gamers group with Daniel Stricker (Midnight Juggernauts) and John Kirby, then signed the soundtrack to the film A Girl Is a Gun, before producing the debut album by American dancer and model Dita Von Teese. Six years after his last personal album, Sébastien Tellier unveiled his ninth album Domesticated in May 2020, followed the same year by Simple Mind, featuring tracks from his previous albums. After his performance of "La Ritournelle " at the opening ceremony of the Paris Paralympics with Ensemble Matheus in 2024, the musician, newly promoted to the Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres, returns in 2026 with the original album Kiss the Beat, featuring contributions from Kid Cudi, Slayyter and Nile Rodgers.
