Producer, DJ and musician specialized in lounge music; Dj LeMonk was introduced to the music world when he was 8. He then studied violin, electric bass and singing. Originally a classical music performer, LeMonk played in various blues, jazz and alternative rock bands over the years. His long travel in India in 2003 will mark the beginning of a new adventure. Inspired by the musical frenzy of Goa (in India) and by the electro music of St-Germain, Café Del Mar and Buddha Bar, he starts doing sound design and composition. He will then define the musical borders of his first ambient album, Café Del Monko, released in June 2008.
In this first volume of a series with jazz, funk, latin, electro-pop & electronica influences, tinged with world beat tones, Dj LeMonk explores diversity and territories borrowing the best of electro and acoustic music. See (discography)
