Modjo is a French house/pop musical duo made up of producer Romain Tranchart and vocalist Yann Destagnol (aka
Yann Destal). They met in
1998, immediately deciding to form a partnership.
They became known in
2000 with their first release, "
Lady (Hear Me Tonight)", a "french-flavour" house track with heavy pop and disco influences, which featured a sample from
Chic's "
Soup for One". The track became an instant #1 across Europe, and was followed up by other singles "
Chillin'", "
What I Mean" and "
No More Tears". With this last single, they started calling themselves
Modjo Band.
After "
No More Tears" they started their respective solo careers, with
Romain Tranchart remixing songs from various artist like
Res ("
Golden Boys"),
Shaggy ("
Sexy Lady"),
Mylène Farmer ("
California") and post producing the likes of
Everynote's "
Once Upon A Time". Yann released a very
Queen-esque album, reaching some success in France.
