Sofiane Pamart was born on 25 April 1990 in
Hellemmes where he grew up with his brother and sister, of whom he was the eldest. His father, from a family originally from
Nord-Pas-de-Calais, then directed a French language center for foreigners, while his mother was a professor of
literature. The mining tradition has been present in his family since his great-grandfathers who were underground miners. His maternal grandfather is of
Moroccan origin, from a
Berber family from
Taroudant, who came to France to also be an underground miner, and died as a result of a
mine blast. His mother enrolled him at the age of seven at
Conservatoire de Lille, where he studied piano and classical music for sixteen years. At the same time, he graduated with a university degree in
musicology and another degree in piano performance. He later completed his
master's degree in law, economics, and management in
University of Lyon, and in business administration at École de Management des Industries Créatives in
Levallois-Perret. == Musical style and reception ==
