Cerrone was born on May 24, 1952 in Vitry-sur-Seine, Val-de-Marne, France. Public records list Cerrone as a musician, singer and record producer. That works out to 74 years old in 2026.
My Take
Cerrone is, to me, the architect of French disco at its most ambitious. A drummer first, he turned 'Love in C Minor' into a sultry, cinematic groove and went on to move over 30 million albums. What I respect is that he refused to treat disco as disposable dance fodder; he stretched it toward something cosmic and orchestral, as 'Supernature' proves. The fact that he's still spinning and creating concerts decades later tells you everything about the man's craftsman spirit. Few producers command a dancefloor with this much imagination.
