BIO (English)
DJ JEAN MARON — DJ, producer and beatmaker — has spent the past 25+ years touring between France, Luxembourg and the USA.
He has opened for artists including Kendrick Lamar, DMX, Mac Miller, G-Eazy, Kery James, Stromae, Booba, Lacrim and Diams, and shared the stage with legendary DJs such as DJ Cut Killer, DJ Premier, DJ Jazzy Jeff, DJ Daddy-K and Khost & Goldfinger. He has also torn up stages at the Winter X-Games and Fresh Island Festival.
For the past 6 years, he has been the official DJ of Luxembourg du Rire, an event drawing over 5,600 spectators per edition, and he is currently one of the resident DJs of the Mama Shelter Luxembourg rooftop.
His sets are rooted in Hip-Hop and R&B, naturally extending into the Soul and Funk these genres come from — and into anything else that fits, as long as it has stood the test of time or shows real staying power as a future classic. No chasing the trend of the month, no Amapiano or Afrobeats overload. The rule of thumb: carefully curated classics over the Top 40 we'll have forgotten in a month. And if the venue and crowd call for it, closing the set with a touch of French Touch House is never off the table.
As a producer, his catalog includes collaborations with The Game, KRS-One, Mobb Deep, Kool G Rap, M.O.P., Onyx and Lords of the Underground (just to name a few), and has surpassed one million streams.
