Kid Francescoli, a name that has been shimmering in the landscape of indie and electronic music, is the brainchild of French musician Mathieu Hocine. Starting his journey in music during the early 2000s in Marseille, France, Kid Francescoli blossomed into a significant figure within the French electronic scene, noted for weaving intricate sounds that blend dreamy pop with sleek, sophisticated electronica.

Hocine's work under the Kid Francescoli banner is characterized by its cinematic quality, a trait evident in his nuanced approach to songcrafting and production, masterfully demonstrated in albums like "With Julia" (2014), inspired by an American romance, and "Play Me Again" (2017), which further solidified his enchanting blend of panoramic soundscapes and intimate storytelling. The artist’s discography showcases an eclectic range, from the nostalgic echoes of “1986” to the ethereal rework of Erik Satie's “Gnossienne No. 1”, each creation a testament to his ability to traverse musical genres and epochs seamlessly. His recent works continue to explore complex emotional and sonic terrains, cementing Kid Francescoli's status as a purveyor of exquisite auditory experiences that resonate globally, far beyond the confines of France's vibrant music scene.
