Yaans

Yaans, real name Raphael Bourguet, is a French music producer, composer, and songwriter hailing from Paris, where he kicked off his musical journey at just age 4 on the piano, diving into jazz, blues, and rock. He dropped his first tracks in 2008 from his bedroom, tweaking beats and vocals, and released his debut on YouTube in 2012 before hitting Spotify in 2019—right around when recent bangers like "Ego," "Like This," and "Kumnandi" started building his vibe. Specializing in **Cultural House**—a fresh mix of global rhythms, house grooves, pulsing basslines, and electronic flair he coined in 2022—Yaans blends nostalgic influences from Chicago and Detroit house pioneers with modern, emotional depth that gets folks moving on the dancefloor.

After co-founding a company and working a day job at an online payment firm in 2020, he went all-in on music in January 2022, ditching the backups to craft tracks like "Kirikiki (feat. Bella Worldwide)," "Sizophila," and "Falling" that fuse cultures with house energy. He's also stepped into directing, producing his first music video in 2020 and launching "Yaans: The Destiny Saga," a 2024 short series weaving his sounds into storytelling—proving he's not just about beats, but building a lasting discography that hits deep. With a growing fanbase tuning into his urban, electronic, and scoring styles, Yaans is that Paris producer keeping the groove alive and evolving.
