In the 1970s, electronic music was virtually unknown. Then two albums changed everything: Oxygene and Equinoxe, with their ­iconic album covers. Thanks to these albums, composed by Jean-Michel Jarre, electronic music found its way into millions of homes and has continued to grow ever since, becoming one of the most widely listened-to genres in the world.

It was Jean-Michel Jarre who popularized electronic music, notably through his concerts at Place de la Concorde, in Houston, Lyon, the Docklands, Paris-La Défense and Moscow.

This biography traces the artist’s life and career.
