Before the clubs and the turntables, there was sound. The beat of a drum, the touch of a piano, a melody appearing out of nowhere. Originally from Paris, Marst (pronounced “Mars-tea”) is a French singer-songwriter, composer, musician, producer and DJ. Electronic music brought him recognition, but his world reaches far beyond it, drawing from rock, songwriting and cinematic scores.

A DJ since 2006, he caught Laurent Garnier’s attention with “Waterlight” in 2011, before releasing music on Diynamic and Bedrock. Guided by instinct and a love of contrasts, he embraces a freedom that also finds expression through Kontrol, his record label and events. One enduring aspiration: to create music that continues to resonate long after silence returns.
