Artist Bio
With over 80 million albums sold since 1972, Jean-Michel Jarre is a towering figure in the world of synth-driven electronica. Raised in Lyon, but forged in the smoky music clubs of Paris, Jean-Michel’s early passion for jazz and classical bled into his pioneering first electro release, 1969’s La Cage/Erosmachine. By 1976, his classic six-part Oxygène album was outselling the British punk movement on its march to UK#2, while his live shows became legendary for their visual flair, with lasers, dancers and images beamed into the heavens. As Jarre’s music has evolved, so too has his long-standing “personal relationship” with Roland gear, and in recent times, his multi-sensory Electronic World tour has been powered by Roland units including the SYSTEM-1, TR-8, TB-3, A-800PRO and JD-XA.
