Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo

Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo was born on February 8, 1974 in Paris, France. In 1992 he recorded together with his schoolmates [a=Thomas Bangalter] and [a=Laurent Brancowitz] (later part of the band [a=Phoenix]) his first two songs under the name [a=Darlin'], which were released on the compilation "[r=306155]" on [l=Duophonic]. The Darlin' tracks were called "a daft punky trash" by a reviewer of the UK music magazine Melody Maker. Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter jokingly took "[a=Daft Punk]" as their next band name. In 1993 their first single "The New Wave" was released on [l=Soma Quality Recordings]. In 1997 Guy-Man and his friend [a=Eric Chedeville] created the label [l=Crydamoure], where they released their music under the name [a=Le Knight Club] and supported other French newcomers.

Guy Manuel's brother is [a=Paul De Homem-Christo] AKA [a=Play Paul].

Instruments: Guitar, synthesizer, keyboards, drums, drum machine, programming.
