Jean-Michel Jarre

Long before laser-soaked stadium raves became standard festival fare, Jean-Michel Jarre was setting the blueprint. He didn't just play keyboards—he turned electronic soundscapes into massive spectacles that pulled millions into city streets. When he unleashed Oxygène in 1976, he proved that moody analogue synthesizers could conquer the global pop charts.

Offstage, his love life reads like an international film festival red carpet. He's been married to screen icons Charlotte Rampling, Anne Parillaud, and cinema legend Gong Li. Decades into his career, he's still packing out massive arenas, teaming up with younger producers, and proving the old synth master has plenty left in the tank.
