==Background==
Born in Paris, Romain Tranchart moved with his family to Algeria and Mexico before settling in Brazil. There, he began learning the guitar, drawing inspiration from [[jazz]] classics.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.metro.co.uk/showbiz/interviews/251-romain-tranchart|title=Romain Tranchart interview|date=27 October 2009|access-date=25 April 2020}}</ref> In 1998, influenced by [[DJ Sneak]], [[Ian Pooley]], and [[Daft Punk]], Tranchart released his first single under the name Funk Legacy, titled ''What You're Gonna Do, Baby'', through [[Vertigo Records]]. He then attended the American School of Modern Music in Paris.

Also Parisian, Yann Destagnol learned to play the [[flute]] and [[clarinet]] as a small child. As he grew older, he became deeply influenced by [[the Beatles]], [[the Beach Boys]], [[David Bowie]], and other pop acts. He started playing drums by emulating them and also learned to play the piano and guitar. He later bought a four-track recording machine and began singing and songwriting. Fascinated more by voices than by charismatic bandleaders, he admired bands such as [[Aerosmith]], [[The Police]], and [[Queen (band)|Queen]], and later became an avid fan of [[Contemporary R&B|R&B]] divas.<ref>{{cite web |title=Modjo - Biography |url=http://modjo.com/ |website=Modjo Music presents Modjo |publisher=Modjo Music |access-date=13 May 2025}}</ref>
