JMJ has been one of the pioneering forces throughout the
electronic music scene over the last five decades, having originally made his
name in the 1970s for his critically acclaimed album OXYGENE. OXYGENE was
unmistakably a catalyst that set electronic music well on its way to becoming
the behemoth that it is today, with JMJs music and follow through
albums (Equinoxe, Magnetic Fields, Rendez-Vous, Chronology…) breaking down
boundaries of composing and production paving the path for what has become
today the most popular genre of music of all time. With over 80 million albums
sold worldwide to date, musicians and contemporary DJs often refer to JARRE's
influence and innovation, not only for his music but also for his singular vision
and creation of outdoor concerts experience.
JEAN-MICHEL JARRE's legendary
concerts have attracted Guinness Record-breaking audiences, with his live
shows, often, if not always, taking place in some of the most extraordinary
settings worldwide. He was the first western musician ever to be invited to
perform in post-Mao China, and has also played the likes of the Great Pyramids
in Egypt, The Sahara Desert and The Eiffel Tower, in addition to perhaps his
most famous performance ever, where he played to a record 3.5 million people
in Moscow. All in all, JARRE has held three Guinness World Records for the largest
live audiences.
