Aslove or Gigi (born Guillaume Banet) is a French songwriter, record producer, mix engineer and musician.[1] He rose to prominence in 2017 with his cover of Corinne Bailey Rae’s "Put Your Records On".[2][1]
Biography
Early life and beginnings
Originally from Lons-le-Saunier in the Jura department, Aslove began music at the age of five by learning drums.[3][1] His stage name derives from Jimi Hendrix’s album Axis: Bold as Love, which belonged to his father.[3] He quickly picked up other instruments including guitar, piano, bass and harmonica.[3] In 2008 he discovered Justice, whose sound reminded him of the heavy rock heroes of his childhood, prompting him to buy a second-hand MacBook and start creating electronic music.[1] In middle school he formed a duo with a guitarist friend to emulate Justice using GarageBand, Apple’s free music software.[1]
Aslove discovered DJing at 15 in a nightclub in his home region.[1] After four years as a resident DJ he decided to make it his profession. In April 2014 he joined the UCPA École des DJs in Lyon.[1] In January 2015 he uploaded his first cover to SoundCloud. "Cupid’s Chokehold", a deep-house version of Gym Class Heroes’ song, was quickly picked up by international blogs. He worked with several singers, including Charles-Henry from the TV show Nouvelle Star. With him he covered "Miss You" by The Rolling Stones, but his version of "Feel Good Inc." by Gorillaz brought the most exposure.[4] Supported by influential blogs, he grew his online profile while shaping a pop-and-house sound. He also worked with Philippe Krier, another Nouvelle Star alumnus, and sought feedback from Jean Rigo, guitarist of Les Infidèles.[1]
Interested in the Tropical house wave on radio, Aslove prepared material for Amsterdam Dance Event in October 2016. By chance he came across Mia Wray’s cover of Corinne Bailey Rae’s "Put Your Records On", whose understated performance convinced him to produce a new version.[5][6]
Breakthrough
"Put Your Records On" entered the Top 100 most-played songs on French radio, with heavy rotation on outlets such as Virgin Radio.[6] In August he released a remix of Katy Perry’s "Bon Appétit".[7]
In November 2017 he released "So High" featuring Norma Jean Martine.[8] A remix pack followed, supported by DJs including David Guetta and Don Diablo.[9]
Influenced by the success of Bruno Mars, he released "Good Ideas" in 2018, a pop-funk track featuring Danish singer Tim Schou and German rapper Leroy Menace.[10]
After numerous remixes, in 2019 Aslove began releasing one song per month toward his first album. The first single, "Dancing" featuring Dalvin, again presented Aslove as a singer in its video.[11]
