Early life and career

From the age of six, he spent nine years training in classical piano and studying musical theory. It was around the age of fourteen that young Peiffer first became interested in electronic music.[2] He posted his first mixtape Summer Memories online on the "La Belle Musique" YouTube channel which, with more than 70 million views, caught the attention of Armin van Buuren's Armada label, with which he signed his first two singles, including "Tarida".

He has collaborated with German producer Robin Schulz, for whom he remixed the track "Sugar". Together they produced "Wave Goodbye", a song which is featured on Robin Schulz's album Sugar, released in 2015. Peiffer's music was later released on Sony Music, featuring "One People", "Home" and in October 2016, "Until the End", which remained at the top of the Belgian charts for several months and went platinum in Belgium.[3]

One of the Tomorrowland stage, during the Henri PFR set (2017, july).

gollark: I have the Soviet anthem downloaded, but only so I can play it at unsuspecting voice chatters through some pulseaudio hackery.
gollark: Or play the Soviet national anthem, but late at night when few people will be there.
gollark: Reasonably simple spec, safe parsing, no weird insanity like that, no whitespace sensitivity, still pretty human-readable like INI files.
gollark: I think TOML is generally a nice config format.
gollark: Because it doesn't use quotes, and implicit whitespace.
