DAFT PUNK Biography

Guy-Manuel de Homem Christo met Thomas Bangalter when they both attended school in Paris, France, in 1987. In 1992, they recorded a song (under the name Darling), which in turn found its way onto a compilation single issued on Stereolab’ Duophonic label. The English journalist who dubbed the young Parisian duo daft punks after listening to their first single, can little have imagined quite how far the group would go: a few years later and Daft Punk is the electronic group which has taken techno out of the clubs and given it to the masses across the planet. After their “Homework” album achieved sales of over 2 million (including 400,000 in France alone), and having been acclaimed as much by fellow musicians as by the record-buying public, the duo composed of Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem Christo have proved, if proof were needed, that there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to success in the music industry. | read more
