Jean-Pierre Mader is a French singer-songwriter and music producer who became particularly well-known in his home country during the 1980s, with a pop-rock style that infused his music with a distinctively French aesthetic. He was born on June 21, 1955, in Toulouse, France, and his career commenced in earnest with the release of his debut album in the early 1980s. Mader gained considerable popularity with the release of his single "Macumba" in 1985, a song that became a hallmark of his career and a staple in the French music scene.

Despite the changing tides of musical tastes, Mader managed to maintain a dedicated fanbase through the years with his catchy melodies and heartfelt lyrics. His ability to evolve his sound while keeping true to his core musical identity is evident in releases like "Special Medley Olympia 1987" which captures the energy of his live performances. Albums like "Microclimats" and EPs such as "Obsession" showcase the breadth of his musical talent, with a synthesis of pop, rock, and electronic elements that highlight his innovative spirit. More recently, Jean-Pierre Mader has revisited his classic hits with contemporary spins, engaging new listeners and offering nostalgia to those who grew up with his iconic tracks, as seen with the "Rêver plus beau (Remixes)" EP. Still active in the music scene, Mader continues to perform and produce music that resonates with both his long-time fans and new audiences.
