They became known in 2000 with their first release, "Lady (Hear Me Tonight)", a "french-flavour" house track with heavy pop and disco influences, which featured a sample from Chic's "Soup For One". The track became an instant #1 across Europe, and was followed up by other singles "Chillin'", "What I Mean" and "No More Tears". With this last single, they started calling themselves Modjo Band.
After "No More Tears" they started their respective solo careers, with Romain Tranchart remixing songs from various artist like Res ("Golden Boys"), Shaggy ("Sexy Lady"), Mylène Farmer ("California") and post producing the likes of Everynote's "Once Upon A Time". Yann released a very Queen-esque album, reaching some success in France.

Modjo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What you would like to be
What is the destiny
What you'd like to take and what you'd like to leave
You know I'd love to see
People all around me say that I'm a fool
When it's just up to you
Have you ever felt your life so tragedy
I was sold to play the game
But I didn't have a name
And I waited all my life to find my own
Have you ever felt like you had to be
Like everyone you see
So you know how to feel
Did you realise it, did it set you free?
D'you know what my mind is made of?
And I don't need to maybe
Got to get rid of these??? inside myself
When it takes some time (some time)
For to draw the line (draw the line)
Will you leave me blind
Because I can't give you what you need
When the creeping inside
When the feeling drowned
I can make you change your mind
People all around me say that I'm a fool
But it's so hard to choose
When it's just up to you
On and on I feel my life, so tradegy
When it takes some time (some time)
For to draw the line (draw the line)
Will you leave me blind
Because I can't give you what you need
When the creeping inside
When the feeling drowned
Can I make you change your mind
Take some time (some time)
For to draw the line (draw the line)
Will you leave me blind
Oh, because I can't give you what you need
When the creeping inside
When the feeling drowned
Won't you leave me blind
(But I can't give you what you need)
Take some time
For to draw the line
Will you leave me blind
When the creeping inside
When the feeling drowned
Let me believe you changed your mind
The lyrics of Modjo's song "Peace of Mind" reflect on the struggles of making life choices and finding one's own identity. The opening lines suggest that people often know what they want to be and what they want to accomplish in their lives, but it can be challenging to achieve those goals. The song suggests that people are often influenced by others' opinions and expectations, making it hard for them to choose their path.
The lyrics describe how the singer felt trapped and controlled, like he didn't have a name or identity. Throughout the song, he calls out for the freedom to be himself and challenges listeners to embrace their uniqueness. The lyrics suggest that by accepting and understanding one's true self, he or she can find inner peace, or "peace of mind."
The chorus emphasizes the message of the song with an overlapping repetition of lines. The use of repetition and a few syncopated rhythms helps draw attention to the lyrics's messages. Overall, the song showcases the importance of understanding oneself and following one's passion, even when others question or criticize them.
