Following in the footsteps of his legendary parents, Jacques Dutronc and Françoise Hardy, Thomas Dutronc has carved out a musical path uniquely his own. Drawing inspiration from gypsy jazz and adding his own personal flair, he has created a sound that stands out in the French music scene.

Far from the hustle of Paris, Thomas found the soul of his latest songs in the peaceful town of Calvi in Haute-Corse. It’s there that he transformed life’s simple pleasures into melody. As a child cherished by two of France’s most iconic music figures, Thomas often visited Corsica, where his parents built a house in the 1960s. From his father, he inherited a playful spirit and a love for freedom; from his mother, a poetic sensibility and an affinity for words.

Rooted in the Legacy of Gypsy Jazz

Thomas Dutronc’s musical identity is deeply tied to the rich tradition of gypsy jazz—a uniquely French genre born in the 1920s through the work of guitarist Django Reinhardt. It was this style that defined his first album and earned him his breakthrough in the music industry. Known for its intricate fingerwork and demanding technique, gypsy jazz requires discipline, daily practice, and an almost acrobatic agility of the hands.

Now, in 2025, Dutronc returns to the stage with a fresh twist—adding a rock edge to his gypsy jazz roots. This new direction allows him to feel more at home than ever on stage, blending the energy of rock with the elegance of jazz. For Thomas Dutronc, the stage isn’t just a platform—it’s where his music lives, evolves, and continues to grow beyond the legacy of his last name.
