Pioneer of one of the fastest growing trends in the
industry today, electronic music, composer Jean-Michel Jarre elevated the genre
to new peaks of popularity as early as the late 70’s and 80’s with 80 million
albums sold worldwide, to date. Emerging as an innovative international
superstar, he creates a new format of out-door concert performance that has
contributed to break the ground for a new generation of out-door live cultural
events.
Multifaceted artist, Jean-Michel Jarre is also composer
and lyricist of milestone hits in his native France and composer of
international movie soundtracks. Apart from his activities directly linked to
musical composition, Jean-Michel Jarre has been spokesperson for IFPI and has
headed various lobbies for Internet copyright legislation before the European
Parliament. Since June 2013 Jarre was elected president of CISAC succeeding the
late Robin Gibb.
Jean-Michel Jarre is also, for the past two decades,
UNESCO spokesperson and Ambassador contributing to the awareness of two key UN
Millennium projects “Water for Life” and “Education for All”.
