He’s best known as the guitarist for the French indie rock band Phoenix, a group that has made waves internationally with hits like “Too Young,” “1901,” and “Lisztomania.” But before Phoenix rose to fame, he was already making music in another project—Darlin’, which he formed back in 1992. That early band may not have reached mainstream success, but it laid the foundation for what was to come. In 1999, Phoenix officially debuted in Versailles, France, marking the beginning of a remarkable journey in modern rock. He, along with his brother Christian Mazzalai, played a key role in co-founding the band, shaping its sound and direction from the start. Over the years, he’s remained a central figure in Phoenix, contributing not just as a guitarist but as a creative force behind their signature style. His work with Phoenix continues to define his musical legacy, earning him recognition across the global indie scene.
