French 79, the alias of Simon Henner, is not your average artist. He's a Marseille-based electro wizard who has a knack for creating left-field gems that are both sonically challenging and visually compelling. With his pulsating soundtracks packed with cosmic synths and dreamy soundscapes, it was only a matter of time before he became a high-profile contributor to the electronic music world. His unique music style, equipped with vocoders and synth compressions, make him the kind of artist who shrugs off convention and treads his own path.
Many of French 79's music videos are as riveting as the tracks themselves. A fantastic example is his video for "Hometown". Unusually, it isn't the music that takes center stage in the video, but an emotionally charged interpretive dance. Moreover, the video for "By Your Side" could be interpreted as a love letter to Marseille, mixed with Sci-Fi vibes. His music video for "Diamond Veins" follows a distinct narrative about a young woman who attempts to escape from a dystopian office environment, presenting an ironic twist on the rat race. The trick is to keep an eye on the details: at the end of the "After Party" video - did that goldfish just wink? All in all, French 79 is more than just a beat-maker; he's a storyteller in both audio and visual forms. His influence has been felt throughout the industry, and not just among his listeners; with his inspiring storytelling techniques, he encourages fellow artists to take a leap of faith and strike a new path.
