An easy-listening trip-hopster similar in style and intent to his countrymen Air and Dimitri from Paris, Kid Loco has an even stronger kinship with the long tradition of French pop characterized by Serge Gainsbourg. Otherwise known as Jean-Yves Prieur, he began playing the guitar at the age of 13 and played in several French punk groups during the early ’80s. By 1996, Prieur had built his own studio, christened himself Kid Loco and released the full-length album A Grand Love Story in 1997, earning praise from many in the indie-rock and electronica community.
