Pierre Hugues José (FR)

With a PhD in neuroscience, Pierre Hugues José has hung up his lab coat to dedicate himself entirely to music. With a bun on his head, vintage thrifted glasses, and tracks that stand far from traditional rap, he stands out in the scene. A colorful, epicurean character.

Passionate about music from a young age, he started with synthesizer lessons before embracing a broad eclecticism. The rapper from Vesoul is determined to “show something different” and break the rules.

Always in search of the perfect figure of speech or rhyme that will make a difference, Pierre Hugues José is full of ideas. In passing, he references Stoicism and contextualizes other philosophical currents to describe his atypical personality, which he displays confidently on social media, attracting a large following (+250K on Instagram and nearly +550K on TikTok).

After being selected for the Inouïs at Printemps de Bourges in 2022, the rapper released his first EP, Comment qu’c’est ?, in spring 2023, delivering offbeat humor laced with satire and self-mockery through his tracks.
