Jean Michel Jarre was born in Lyon on 24 August 1948, the son of composer Maurice Jarre, and French Resistance member and concentration camp survivor France Jarre .His parents separated when he was five years old, his father moved to the United States, and Jarre remained with his mother in the suburbs of Paris.Jarre would not meet his father again until he was eighteen. He was born into a family of artists; his Grandfather, André Jarre, was an oboe player, an engineer, and an inventor. André perfected the first audio mixer, used at Radio Lyon, and also gave Jean Michel his first record player. For the first eight years of his life, for six months of each year he resided at his Grandparent's flat along the Cours de Verdun, in the Perrache district of Lyon. The young Jarre would watch street performers from the window of the flat, and has cited their music as an influence on his art (traces of this can be found on his album Equinoxe, particularly "Equinoxe Part 8").
By now a young man, to fund his lifestyle he became a painter, exhibiting some of his works at the Lyon Gallery — L'Oeil Ecoute. He also played in a band called Mystère IV . While he studied at the Lycée Michelet his
mother arranged for him to take lessons in harmony, counterpoint and fugue with Jeannine Rueff of the Conservatoire de Paris. In 1967 he played guitar in a band called The Dustbins. Jarre experimented by mixed several instruments, including the electric guitar and the flute, with tape effects and other sounds. The band appears in the film Des garçons et des filles.Jean Michel Jarre Tickets at Sold Out Ticket Market
