Feraud was born into a family in which music always played an important role. His parents, both professional musicians, introduced him to music of various genres at an early age.

Furthermore, as a child he showed a great interest in film music ; he listened to film music for hours.

At the age of 8, Hadrien Feraud received guitar lessons from his father. As a ten-year-old he began to listen to the bass lines from the songs of various bands and artists and to play them back. However, his interest initially shifted from guitar to drums . The turning point came when, at the age of 12, he received and heard Jaco Pastorius ' album The Birthday Concert as a gift from his father. Feraud, fascinated by Pastorius, began an intensive study of the electric bass and then analyzed the techniques of well-known bass players.

In 2001 he played with Biréli Lagrène (guitar), Sylvain Luc (guitar) and Franck Agulhon (drums) at the “Basse Contre Basse” memorial concert, in memory of the double bass player François Jenny-Clark .

He recognized his talent, encouraged him and invited Feraud with his formation Le Cartel to concerts, for example in 2002 to a concert in the Hotel Trianon Palace in Versailles .
