Sebastian Devaud AKA Agoria grew up in rural France. His father was ...
architect and his mother a Spanish and classical teacher. His name evolved from the name of an event series he started as a teenager, Agora, loosely meaning ‘meeting place’ in ancient Greek.
Agoria’s dextrous production skills are sought out from the worlds of film and fashion such as with his soundtrack for the film ‘Go Fast’ produced by Luc Besson and directed by Olivier Van Hoofstad. He is now a music director or the high-end French label Courrèges and recently produced the first album from female singer Kid A who featured on his last album.
In 2011 he delivered an episode of the fabric mix series, one of their most successful to date. In the same year his album, ‘Impermanence’ featuring Carl Craig and Seth Troxler came on his own notorious InFiné label. Started in 2006 as a “laboratory” that followed no rules, shied away from trends and featured young and new talents from various parts of the world, InFiné is now part of Agoria’s past as he left to concentrate on new musical directions, projects that will be announced before the end of 2012.
