biography

Florent Hugel lives in Marseille and began working as a music producer in 2005 with influences from hip-hop , pop and electronic . He was a member of the EDM duo KitSch 2.0 and the hip-hop project Hipshaker .

In March 2015, Hugel released his first solo single Coming Home . With this he achieved his first chart success in Germany and climbed to number 80 in the charts. In June 2016 he released the song Where We Belong in collaboration with British singer Jasmine Thompson , for which a music video was also shot. He first gained great popularity in German-speaking countries in 2017 through collaboration with Robin Schulz , with whom he the song I Believe I'm Fine produced, which then in Germany, Austria and Switzerland in the singles charts got in and in Germany in 2018 with Gold Award has been. In the same year the solo single Baby was released as well as the song Like a Riddle, which he co-produced , by the German DJ and producer Felix Jaehn , which developed into a commercial success.

After the song Bella Ciao, which originally became famous during World War II , gained great popularity through the Spanish series Haus des Geldes , Hugel released a deep house- style remix of the song in April 2018 . This version was initially particularly successful in Germany and France, where it rose to the top 20 after a few weeks. In Austria, the song rose to number one in the single charts in August 2018 . Furthermore, it was named the official summer hit 2018.

On June 8, 2018, Hugel released the song Signs , which was created in collaboration with the British singer Taio Cruz . While this was not commercially able to follow the success of Bella Ciao , the song WTF , which was released in November 2018, made it into the German-language single charts. The song was recorded with British singer Amber Van Day and was used as the theme song of season 13 of I'm a Star - Get Me Out of Here! used. The following year, the song Mamma Mia was released , which was also created with Van Day and is the successor single.

After the song Guajira Guantanamera was thematized in the third season of House of Money in a similar way to Bella Ciao in the second season, Hugel produced a remix for it, which was released on August 30, 2019.
