Club DJs and producers Dorian Lo and César de Rummel have been active as Ofenbach since 2014, the year the Paris, France-based duo fell under the spell of house music.
The previous decade, the childhood friends started playing music together, inspired at first by such blues-rooted rock acts as
the Rolling Stones and
White Stripes. The young musicians had a creative epiphany when they heard the productions of
Robin Schulz, then set off on fusing elements of traditional rock and electronic dance music with pop appeal. After an assortment of singles and remixes released during 2014 and 2015, Ofenbach broke through in 2016 with "Be Mine," which landed within the Top Ten of several pop charts across Eurasia, including France, where it earned a diamond certification. By the end of 2017,
Miriam Makeba,
James Bay,
Nick Waterhouse, and
