Stuart Price
English electronic music producer, DJ and songwriter
Stuart David Price (born 9 September 1977) is an English electronic musician, DJ, songwriter, and record producer. His acts include his own band Zoot Woman (with Adam Blake and Johnny Blake), Les Rythmes Digitales (French pronunciation: [le ʁitm diʒital], literally "The Digital Rhythms"), Paper Faces, Man with Guitar, Thin White Duke (not to be confused with David Bowie's earlier persona of the same name), and the parodic French moniker Jacques Lu Cont (though he actually grew up in Reading, England).
Price is known for his work with artists including Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Dua Lipa, The Killers, New Order, DMA's, Example, Take That, Missy Elliott, Scissor Sisters, Pet Shop Boys, Brandon Flowers, Gwen Stefani, Seal, Keane, Jessie Ware, Frankmusik, Halsey, Hard-Fi, Hurts, Everything Everything, Rina Sawayama, Darin, Romy (Mid Air Album), Mimi Webb (Ghost of You), George Ezra (Green Green Grass), Jess Glynn (What Do You Do?), and Cat Burns (People Pleaser and Live More Love More).
Solo and group work
Price was born in Paris but grew up in Reading, England. His musical career started with two acts working simultaneously, releasing music on London-based label, Wall of Sound. He formed Zoot Woman with Adam Blake and Johnny Blake, and their debut 12-inch, Sweet to the Wind EP, was released in 1995. Around the same time, under the pseudonym Jacques Lu Cont, Price was making music as Les Rythmes Digitales. Initially choosing the name as a reference to the explosion in demand for French house in the United Kingdom during the 1990s, Price even went as far as to conduct interviews with British journalists in French via an interpreter. In interviews from around this time, Price also claimed that he had grown up listening exclusively to classical music, until one day encountering the album Dare by the Human League.
The first Les Rhythmes Digitales album, Liberation, was released in 1996.
