Martin Solveig

For me, Martin Solveig will always be the man behind 'Hello,' that impossibly breezy tennis-court anthem you cannot dislodge from your head. But reducing him to one hit misses the bigger picture: a Parisian who built a three-decade career as DJ, singer, songwriter and producer, twice decorated with France's Arts and Letters honors. I admire artists who chase joy without apology, and Solveig's brand of French house always feels generous rather than self-serious. He even scored a World Cup anthem. There is real craft beneath the sunshine, and that is exactly the kind of durable, feel-good professionalism I find easy to root for.
