Jean-Marc Cerrone (Born May 24, 1952) is a French Eurodisco drummer, singer and music producer born in Vitry-sur-Seine nearby Paris, France.
At the age of 12, he started playing drums and listening to Otis Redding's songs. Cerrone's passion for music scared his father, who tried to distract him from his obsession. By the end of the 1960s, he was fascinated by, among others, Jimi Hendrix; Carlos Santana; and Blood, Sweat & Tears.
