Florian Picasso
Florian Picasso is an enigmatic DJ with an artistic vision and knack for curation that’s poised to become a reference point in the cultural lexicon.
With a decade long music career, Florian is now reemerging on the scene with a fresh, daring sound that lays bare his vulnerabilities like never before. Studying his art from an entirely new angle, the French musician is taking inspiration from across genres, and for the first time ever, his life’s journey.
An extroverted introvert, Florian is a master of sarcasm and an outgoing soul with a penchant for pensiveness. An enigma on and off the stage, his tracks echo this complexity. Sexy and spontaneous, euphoric and introspective, Florian’s music is a heady mix of groovy, bouncy and unapologetically hard-hitting beats that dare you to embrace the moment. Inspired by rhythms that range from hip-hop to dark basslines and retro grooves, his eclectic taste produces sets that are timeless escapes, refreshing yet nostalgic, transportive yet deeply bonding.
Gratitude is really the heart of Florian’s story. The son of Marina Picasso, Florian grew up in a world surrounded by art and privilege that he struggled to feel like he deserved. Adopted from Vietnam, Florian has always been acutely aware of how different his life could have been. DJing became a way to process those feelings, a place where life stood still and he felt like he truly belonged.
Throughout his life, “keep going” wasn’t just a motto for Florian, but a way of life. With a firm belief in destiny, he also wasn’t afraid to carve out a space for himself in an industry that often tries to fit artists into one box. His work is a testament to resilience and passion, and his evolution is an unfiltered expression of his journey.
Now, as he enters a new era, Florian is intent on solidifying his artistic legacy. With his feet firmly planted in the worlds of music, art and fashion, Florian will use his unique style and vision to curate experiences that transcend mere entertainment, delving into realms of emotional resonance and cultural significance. Collaborating with brands and fellow artists alike, Florian will explore the intersection of music with different art forms, creating immersive and unforgettable encounters for his audience.
But Florian is more than just an artist, he’s a curator of culture. As the co-founder of Dekadance, a dynamic collective centered around music, arts, and inclusivity, he’s building a community that thrives on collaboration and creative freedom. Together with co-founder CAPTNNN, Dekadance isn’t just about music events, it’s a movement that brings together diverse disciplines, fostering a space where everyone is welcome.
With recent support from industry heavyweights like Solomun - who’s been playing some of Florian’s unreleased tracks and is giving him the opportunity to release on his very own imprint Diynamic Records - as well as a recent release with Hot Meal Records, Florian is continuing to expand his influence. His vision is to create something bigger than just his own career: a space for innovation, collaboration, and artistic expression that will leave a lasting impact on the cultural landscape.
In a world of fleeting trends and shallow connections, Florian is an artist here for the long haul. His music is an invitation to join him on a journey, to lose yourself in the moment, and to discover something truly extraordinary.
