François Ier is an electronic music project led by François Giesberger since 2013, the year he co-founded the Toulouse collective and label Boussole Records, and released a first EP, 1515, whose melancholic character was quickly noticed. Three EPs followed, Neptune in 2014, Nyrmal in 2015 and Hôtel du Nord in 2016, on Boxon Records and Haut Cinq, in which François strives to produce an aerial, danceable and imaginative music. Initially confined to local stages, the media coverage François is subject to allows him to perform in numerous venues and festivals (Transmusicales de Rennes, Montreux Jazz Festival, 36h de St Eustache, Les Déferlantes, Le Trianon, La Flèche d’Or, Le Cabaret Aléatoire...) in French-speaking countries as well as in New York and Berlin.
