Lacking motivation? Let this song give you a glimpse into what could be if you don’t just get up and do it!<\/p>\n

And these two brothers know what it means to find the drive to follow your passion. Raised in la<\/strong> ville<\/strong> rose<\/strong> (the pink city — Toulouse) to an Argentinianfather and a Franco-Algerian mother, Florian (Bigflo) and Olivio (Oli) grew up surrounded by music. Their mother was a big fan of French music (particularly Jacques Brel and Charles Aznavour), and their father was a salsa singer. When they got a little older, Olivio studied the trumpet and Florian studied drums at conservatory in Toulouse.<\/p>\n

In 2000 after hearing J’voulais<\/a><\/strong> by Sully Sefil on the radio, the pair decided to start rapping at home. >>Check out this early music video<\/a> of the duo in 2006.<<<\/em> They’d been writing poetry throughout their childhood and received personalized courses through a teacher at school, and it’s because of this that the two began to appreciate the power of words. This understanding would prove beneficial for them as songwriters.<\/p>\n

Unlike many rappers today, Bigflo & Oli don’t focus on the clich\u00e9s – there’s nothing about fast cars or fast women. These two focus on real life issues from the point of view of a observer (c’est-\u00e0-dire<\/strong> [that is to say] that they don’t tell it from their perspective, but from an outsider’s view offering suggestions).<\/p>\n

The two released their first EP, Le trac<\/strong>, in 2014. La cour des grands<\/strong> followed in 2016, and La vraie vie<\/strong> was released this year. From these recordings, the last 2 albums have charted in second and first place respectively. Of their 13 singles, “Dommage<\/strong>,” is the only to make it in the top 10 in France.<\/p>\n

“Dommage<\/strong>” focuses on what could happen if you don’t follow your instincts go follow your dreams.<\/p>\n
