They also release their own artist project under the name Picard Brothers.

Career

[edit]

Picard Brothers started their music career at an early age and produced beats for French rappers.

In 2011, they met and started working closely with Diplo, became part of his core production crew. They quickly signed their first Platinum certified song[4] "It Won't Stop" by Sevyn Streeter and Chris Brown[5]

Working between Paris and Los Angeles, they have been involved in many Diplo and Major Lazer releases such as "Powerful" with Ellie Goulding and Tarrus Riley,[6] "Look Back" with DRAM.

In 2018, they met Mark Ronson and helped in the creation of Silk City: they co-signed the Grammy winning hit "Electricity" amongst the other singles. They continued working with Mark Ronson and co-wrote and co-produced his latest album Late Night Feelings[7][2] including the single "Nothing Breaks Like a Heart" with Miley Cyrus.[8]

The duo also wrote and produced for other artists like Beyoncé,[9] Kehlani, Miley Cyrus, Yebba, Wizkid, Mr Eazi and more.

Picard Brothers released their artist project in 2020 with the single "Won't Let Go", remixed by House legend Todd Edwards. They are now working on their debut album.
