Born and raised amidst the cultural vibrancy of Paris, his passion for music was ignited from an early age by the eclectic mix of audio tapes provided by his parents, encompassing a spectrum of artists from Bob Dylan to Téléphone to Oasis, among others.

Three years later, Étienne Belin teamed up with Nicolas Maillols to release the single "Héros", a precursor to his upcoming album "Obsidienne", slated for release in 2021.
