Raphael Haroche was born in the Parisian suburb of Boulogne on November 7, 1975.
With a Russian father and Argentinean mother, Haroche was brought up in a
multicultural household, exposed to a wide range of musical expression. He
developed a love for the pop music of the early 80s, listening to artists such
as David Bowie, Bob Dylan, and the French rock group Noir Désir. Before
settling on guitar, the young artist experimented with a variety of instruments
and musical tools, including sax, piano, and even early sampling technology. As
a young adult, Haroche spent some time studying law before abandoning the
university altogether in order to write full-time. Thanks to some powerful
connections, he was offered a deal with EMI at the age of 24. His debut record,
Hotel de lUnivers, was released in 2001 to a modest reception. Though the tour
that followed was rocky, as Haroche lacked live performance experience, he was
ultimately well-received, winning the Victoires de la Musique Award for Best
Newcomer. In 2003 his sophomore effort, La Realite, was released, selling an
impressive 160,000 copies, but Haroches real breakthrough into the mainstream
came in 2005. Caravane was met with great critical acclaim and was Raphaels
first record to make it into Billboards European Top 100. The project won a
number of awards, and the subsequent tour produced the artists first live
record, Résistance à la Nuit: Live 2006. 2007 saw the release of the live
acoustic album, Une Nuit au Chatlet, which in part paid homage to classic French
singers, including Serge Gainsbourg. Raphaël’s fourth studio album Je
Sais Que la Terre est Plate came in 2008 and reached the top of the French
charts, selling over 300,000 copies.
