By his own admission, Jean-Michel Jarre has spent the vast majority of his life in the studio. A global pioneer of electronic music, he has led a career for five decades punctuated by groundbreaking albums with record sales and concerts synonymous with gigantism and technological audacity. This lover of the arts and words, raised by a mother who was a former member of the French Resistance and a grandfather who was both an inventor and a musician, also occasionally dabbles brilliantly in writing song lyrics for artists such as Christophe. From China to England, by way of the United States and Australia, he remains one of the most beloved and respected French artists in the world, with an impressive number of fans. At once popular and worldly, solitary and extroverted, simple and sophisticated, discreet and expansive, he cultivates all his paradoxes in the simplest way possible. Adored then criticized, almost forgotten, Jean-Michel Jarre, like the Phoenix, knows how to rise from the ashes and thinks more about the present and the future than about his glorious past. Passionate about innovation, he doesn't forget to use his art to defend important causes such as the environment and human rights. On the eve of the fiftieth anniversary of Oxygène, his cult album, which has sold over eighteen million copies worldwide, rediscover the incredible life story of the "pope of electronic music," a tireless globetrotter and ambassador of French genius.
