Gus aka 6u5 is an independant artist from the north of France. Born in "St Pol sur Mer" in 1983, in order for his parents, he studied piano in music school of Dunkerque from the age of 8. Unable to properly read a piano score, he reinterprets the songs that his teachers gave him to learn. But daunted by the rigorous music theory, he abandoned the instrument rather quickly. Fascinated by electronic music of the 90's, he discovers in this new dimension of sound where the notes no longer exists, a music freed from any theory. He bought the first album of electronic artists who became his mentors: Underworld (Dubnobasswithmyheadman), Leftfield (Leftism), Future Sound Of London (Dead City), Jeff Mills (Purpose Maker), Goldie (Timeless), The Orb (Uforb) The Chemical Brothers (Exit Planet Dust), The Prodigy (Experience) for the most famous. From that time, his musical culture will continue to grow. Very familiar with computer, Internet became an inexhaustible source of musical discovery. Teenager, he discovered the clubs in Belgium and their incredible atmosphere. He begins to mix just for his friends and to create his first track. He learn music production by autodidact way. After brilliant studies he obtained a master degree of biology. In 2009 he participated in his first remix contest and won it. This event will encourage him to send his productions to the records labels and the same year High Music Recording gives him a chance as an artist. His artistic journey is a proof that today new technologies are revolutionizing the whole world of the music industry. But, the rest of this story remains to be written...
