Bob Sinclar's Music Journey
Early Days as a DJ
Christophe Le Friant grew up in Paris, France. He started working as a DJ in the 1980s. Back then, he used the name Chris the French Kiss. He was very interested in hip hop music and jazz music during this time. He even created other music projects like The Mighty Bop and Reminiscence Quartet. For the Reminiscence Quartet, he worked with other musicians and used the name Desmond K.
Becoming Bob Sinclar
In 1998, Christophe decided to use the name Bob Sinclar. He got this name from a character in a 1973 movie called Le Magnifique. He became well-known for a style of music called "French touch" house music. This style often uses sounds from old disco songs. Bob Sinclar says his music is inspired by "peace, love, and house music."
Big Hits and Awards
In the 2000s, many of Bob Sinclar's songs became popular around the world, especially in Europe. Some of his most famous songs include "The Beat Goes On" (from 2002) and "Love Generation" (from 2005), which featured singer Gary "Nesta" Pine. Another big hit was "World, Hold On (Children of the Sky)" (from 2006), featuring Steve Edwards.
In 2006, Bob Sinclar won an award in Belgium called the TMF Award Best Dance International. That same year, he released "Rock This Party (Everybody Dance Now)". This song uses parts of a popular 1990 song by C+C Music Factory called "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)". In 2008, he worked with Steve Edwards again on a song called "Together." In 2009, he released "Lala Song" with the group The Sugarhill Gang. This song was a new version of their 1979 hit "Rapper's Delight", which was one of the first big hip hop songs.
Music in the 2010s and Beyond
Bob Sinclar continued to create a lot of music in the 2010s. In 2011, he released "Far l'amore" with Italian performer Raffaella Carrà. This was a remixed version of her 1976 song. In 2013, he released a song called "Summer Moonlight." In 2015, he worked with Dawn Tallman on a song called "Feel the Vibe."
In 2016, he released "Someone Who Needs Me." He also worked with singer Akon on a song called "'Til the Sun Rise Up." In June 2018, his song "I Believe" became very popular, especially in Italy and other parts of Europe. More recently, in May 2021, he teamed up with singer Molly Hammar for the song "We Could Be Dancing."
