Homem-Christo met
Thomas Bangalter when they attended the
Lycée Carnot in Paris in 1987. It was there that they discovered their mutual fascination for films and music of the 1960s and 1970s: "very basic cult teenager things, from
Easy Rider to the
Velvet Underground". The two and
Laurent Brancowitz eventually joined to form an
indie rock trio called
Darlin', in which Homem-Christo performed guitar. Bangalter felt that "It was still maybe more a teenage thing at that time. It's like, you know, everybody wants to be in a band." which inspired Bangalter and Homem-Christo's new name. The two soon became interested in
electronic dance music after going to a club in 1992. Homem-Christo is credited for designing the Daft Punk logo in the liner notes of
Homework (1997), the duo's first album. Regarding Daft Punk's creative process and working with Bangalter, Homem-Christo commented that "he's much more of the tech guy than I am. We did everything together. But I have more distance". He added, "I'm more critical of everything we do. We're two-halves of one solid combination. There's balance there – completeness between us, yeah". Homem-Christo is a co-founder of the group
Le Knight Club, along with Éric Chedeville from Pumpking Records. They are the founders of the record label
Crydamoure, named after a variation of the French phrase "cri d'amour" or "cry of love" in English. Crydamoure published works by Homem-Christo's brother Paul, under the name Play Paul. They also published records by Deelat, Raw Man, The Eternals, and many others. In regards to Crydamoure, Homem-Christo stated: Daft Punk produced three projects in the 2000s, their sophomore album
Discovery (2001), their third album
Human After All (2005), and the
soundtrack to
TRON: Legacy (2010). The duo also did a world tour in 2006 and 2007, eventually releasing an accompanying live album,
Alive 2007. In between these projects, Homem-Christo produced
Sébastien Tellier's 2008 album
Sexuality. He also has one cameo for each track, 'Kilometer' and 'Divine'. In 2010, Homem-Christo and Bangalter were admitted into the , an order of merit of France. The two were individually awarded the rank of
Chevalier (knight). Homem-Christo also worked with
Sebastian on the
Kavinsky song "
Nightcall", released in 2010. In 2012, he was featured on Tellier's album
My God Is Blue on the track "My Poseidon". Following the release of Daft Punk's fourth album
Random Access Memories, Homem-Christo and Bangalter collaborated on two tracks with
the Weeknd, "
Starboy" and "
I Feel It Coming", with the former gaining the duo their first number one on the
Billboard Hot 100 and the latter, co-written by Chedeville of Le Knight Club, peaking at number four. Homem-Christo and Bangalter both contributed writing and production credits to the 2017 song "
Overnight" by
Parcels. This would be Daft Punk's final production work as a duo, as Daft Punk announced their split via YouTube in February 2021. Homem-Christo worked on the title track to
Charlotte Gainsbourg's fifth studio album
Rest, released in 2017. He contributed to the 2018 song "
Hurt You", a collaboration with the Weeknd and
Gesaffelstein. In 2020, during the
COVID-19 pandemic, Homem-Christo created a curated playlist called "Star of a hero" for Italian brand MEDEA, containing tracks from
The Beach Boys,
the Weeknd,
George Duke, and
Thundercat, among others. On 22 February 2021, Daft Punk released a video announcing their breakup. Friend and collaborator
Todd Edwards later clarified that Bangalter and Homem-Christo remain active separately. The two still share a studio and equipment. In 2023, Travis Scott released "
Modern Jam," written and produced by Homem-Christo, from his album
Utopia. In 2025,
Rosalía released "Reliquia," co-written by Homem-Christo, from her album
Lux. ==Personal life==
