Picard Brothers are a duo of producers, songwriters and DJs composed by Maxime Picard and Clément Picard. The two French brothers have written and produced for Diplo, Mark Ronson, Silk City, Beyoncé, Madonna and many others throughout their career.[1][2] They won a Grammy Award in 2019 for Best Dance Recording for their contribution to "Electricity" by Silk City and Dua Lipa.[3]
They also release their own artist project under the name Picard Brothers.
Career
Picard Brothers started their music career at an early age and produced beats for French rappers.
In 2011, they met and started working closely with Diplo, becoming part of his core production crew. They quickly signed their first Platinum certified song[4] "It Won't Stop" by Sevyn Streeter and Chris Brown[5]
Working between Paris and Los Angeles, they have been involved in many Diplo and Major Lazer releases such as "Powerful" with Ellie Goulding and Tarrus Riley,[6] "Look Back" with DRAM.
In 2018, they met Mark Ronson and helped in the creation of Silk City: they co-signed the Grammy winning hit "Electricity" amongst the other singles. They continued working with Mark Ronson and co-wrote and co-produced his latest album Late Night Feelings[7][2] including the single "Nothing Breaks Like a Heart" with Miley Cyrus.[8]
The duo also wrote and produced for other artists like Beyoncé,[9] Kehlani, Miley Cyrus, Yebba, Wizkid, Mr Eazi and more.
As artists, the Picard Brothers have released their artist project in 2020 with the single "Won't Let Go", remixed by House legend Todd Edwards. Followed by a series of singles and an EP through Because Music/Island UK.
