History
[edit]Rémy was born on January 13, 1997, to an assembly line worker father and a mother caretaker of a building in the Pont-blanc neighborhood in Aubervilliers, Seine-Saint-Denis where he grew up.[4] He wrote his first rap songs at the age of 10–11.[5] While a first-year professional baccalaureate student at the Lycée Suger in Saint-Denis, Seine-Saint-Denis, Rémy decided to end his studies to devote himself to a career in hip-hop.[6] He was spotted by emblematic Aubervilliers rapper Mac Tyer, who gave him a solo track on his studio album "Banger 3".[7] The success of his first single "Je vois" earned him to be signed on the label Def Jam France.[8] On July 28, 2017, Rémy released his second single entitled "On traîne".[9] In October 2017, Rémy, invited by Hornet La Frappe, made a much remarked performance when he interpreted the unreleased song "Réminem", on the instrumental of Eminem's "Mockingbird", in live from the "Planète Rap" show on the radio station Skyrock.[10]
Rémy unveiled the singles : "Je te raconte", "Comme à l'Ancienne" featuring Mac Tyer,[11] "Rappelle-toi"[12] and "Un peu ivre",[13] before releasing his first studio album "C'est Rémy" on March 23, 2018. "C'est Rémy" sold 10,191 albums during its first week.[14] During an interview with the Swiss daily newspaper 20 minutes, Rémy reported that the album sold more than 40,000 copies between March and October 2018.[15] The album was finally certified gold on August 5, 2019.[16]
On October 25, 2019, Rémy released his second studio album "Rémy d'Auber".[17]
