Jérôme Rocipon in Toronto, Canada

Numéro# is a Canadian electropop duo from Montreal formed by French Jérôme Rocipon and Québécois Pierre Crube.

Biography[]

Jérôme Rocipon is originally from the region of Bordeaux in France, and was a guitarist in various rock 'n roll groups in France with interests in hip hop music. He started to correspond with Pierre Crube, a Québécois living in Montreal, and composer of experimental electronic music. The two exchanged their compositions on the Internet. From this exchange, the project Numéro# was born, whose compositions were put online on MySpace.

Their first album, , was released in 2006 on the independent label in Montreal. The duo performed heavily, including notably opening up for TTC. A single, "Hit pop", started to receive play on commercial top 40 radio, which is unusual for an independent group.

The band's second single, "Chewing-Gum Fraise", is their biggest hit in Québec. The song's video was the #2 video of the year on MusiquePlus.

The rap group Omnikrom appeared on the album L'Idéologie des stars in one of the versions of their single "Chewing-gum fraise". In the spring of 2007, Numéro# returned the favour and collaborated with Omnikrom on their first album, Trop Banane!, appearing on the tracks "Ghetto Hype" and "Bouger Bouger".
