Career
Christophe started working in the music industry in the 1980s. Then he started working as a DJ under the name Chris the French Kiss, and he mostly used hip-hop and jazz tunes for his assignments. During his time as a member of the Mighty Bop and Reminiscence Quartet, Christophe used the stage name Desmond K. While with the Quartet he worked with an ensemble of musicians. In 1994, he decided to launch his own record company, Yellow Productions, in collaboration with his friend DJ Yellow. Over time, they brought in other musicians and trained to create their own musical techniques and styles.

From then on, Christophe adopted his name “Bob Sinclar” after being inspired by the film “Le Magnifique” in 1998; he began making house music using disco string samples and filtered, filtered samples of house music, a style he called the “French touch”, which became the style of music he considered as a synonym of peace and love. Two years later, after casting his first album, Paradise, in 1998, he released his second album, Champs Elysées. They were both released through Yellow Productions. With his contribution to a number of international hits, he amassed a significant net worth and several of his songs did very well in Europe, including “Love Generation”, featured on Sinclar’s album Western Dream, which remained in the top 10 of the German Charts for the longest period of time. One of his most famous songs is “World, Hold On”. This popular song features Steve Edwards.
