Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo was born on February 8, 1974 in Paris, France. In 1992 he recorded together with his schoolmates Thomas Bangalter and Laurent Brancowitz (Part of Phoenix) his first two songs under the name Darlin', which were released on the compilation "Shimmies In Super 8" on Duophonic.
