After beeing a 70's rock lover for years, one day, he discovered something he never heard before, that was Underworld (everything everything). This masterpiece of techno music opened him to techno and electronic musics. Since 2004 N'To produces his own electro music, while he never stopped making all other kinds of music.
Influenced by minimal and techno artists such as James Holden, Extrawelt and Stephan Bodzin, his electronic working is recognizable by his using of smoothy melodies surrounded by efficient minimal rhythms.
He also composes more hip/trip hop and accoustic music.
French: N’To est né à Marseille en 1985, il fait partie de la nouvelle vague d’artistes de la musique électronique qui ne passe pas par la case DJ, mais qui se lance directement dans la production. Âgé de 22 ans, il a déjà été traversé, perturbé, par plusieurs courants musicaux, le rock des années 70 laisse chez lui une trace indélébile. Mais c’est avec « Everything everything » d’Underworld qu'il s'ouvre à la musique électronique ; N’to va en faire son moyen d’expression privilégié, sans pour autant négliger d’autres formes telles que le hip/trip hop et la musique acoustique. On peut reconnaître dans son travail des influences sonores qui viennent de la planète « Border », ou encore du créateur de génie qu’est Stephan Bodzin. Mais N’To émet un son qui lui est propre, des sonorités pointillistes, rapides, une rythmique tapageuse, travaillée à l’extrême. Il déstructure les sons, trahit nos habitudes, et livre au final quelque chose d’absolument cohérent, au-delà de nos attentes.

The lyrics to the song "Ten" by N'to are rather confusing and difficult to interpret. The intro and outro contain a conversation between two individuals, discussing meeting up and uniting. The verses by Capone and Noreaga contain references to crime, drugs, and violence. The hook references technology and crime with phrases such as "microchips in the celly" and "putting hits on the cops." The song may be about the struggles and dangers of living life on the streets and the consequences of illegal activities.
There are various interpretations of the lyrics, but the overall feeling is that of a gritty, dangerous lifestyle. The conversation in the intro and outro suggest that even though they may have had conflicts in the past, they are now coming together for a greater purpose, possibly to unite their community.

It takes nothin' but a hot slug to fill a villain
Killing a villain only requires one bullet
Crook I'm about to make a killin'
I'm about to make a lot of money as a criminal
So weed to escalate the feelin'
I smoke weed to enhance my criminal activity
I regulate the dealin' jealous niggas hate the feelin'
I control the drug trade and other criminals are envious of my success
I stack my safe appealin' jake on my trace I'm peelin'
I keep my money in a secure place and avoid police detection
And what a Mecca had whole fuckin' nation kneelin'
I come from a place of power and influence
Embrace the wheel and hit a buck without crashin' fuck
Take control and make a lot of money without failure
My drug passion got a nigga stashin' fast what
I'm very dedicated to the drug trade and quickly hide my earnings
One love to hill billys run forever out to Chile'
A shoutout to my associates and business partners
Playin' the cuts nigga what can't stop the willy
I fly under the radar and cannot be stopped in my illegal actions
Cops harassin' niggas blastin' while the day' passin'
Police officers are bothering and killing black people daily
Time for action cock the mac what a satisfaction
It's time to act, load the gun, and enjoy the thrill of committing a crime
Shoot laughin' slug caught up in the chest gaspin'
Laughing while killing someone is enjoyable, even if the victim suffers
Nigga blanked out chopped before he start rappin'
The victim was killed before he could testify against us
Microchips in the celly the game don't stop (don't stop)
Technology and communications are essential in our criminal activities
Tappin' in your bank funds with the labtop (labtop)
Accessing bank accounts through a laptop is one way we make money
Want to own a block before the ball drop (ball drop)
I want to own an entire city block before the end of the year
Arab natiz puttin' hits on the cops (x2)
We have hired people to kill police officers
Know what's real about all this though that...
Here's what's true about our situation...
We were young we strive we tryin' to eat knowhatI'msayin'?)
We were young and working hard to make money and survive
Niggas ain't bustin' that heat man
Many of our associates and rivals are afraid to use weapons
C.N.N. network channel 10 it's on again
We're back in business reporting on the criminal activity in our area
Street niggas that' grown men
We are grown men who have lived on the streets
Bold face gat in your face stay in your place
Stay in your place or I'll threaten and intimidate you with a gun
Yo crime lace catch more beef then Scarface (x2)
Our dangerous and violent lifestyle leads to more conflict than the movie Scarface
Court case illegal minds too late
We've been caught and it's too late for our smart criminal minds to get us out
Back in '92 (you remember Juice son?)
Remember back in 1992 when we watched the movie Juice?
I buc tose and got live General Emanuel
I was so inspired by the movie Juice that I became more violent
Cell block cold crop
Jail is a cold and harsh place to be
Go bagged up yeah by cream cop
I was caught and sent to jail by corrupt police officers for selling drugs
(FUCK THE WORLD) The way the world cold dissed me
I hate the world because it has been cruel to me
? poppie locked for posse call up Khadafi
A member of our team was arrested and we need to call Khadafi for help
Collect all from Arab natzi the fowl motney
I want Khadafi to gather money from our partners in crime
You were lat in jail gte what what what what
You were locked up in jail, do you understand?
Them new jacks they comin' through
New and inexperienced criminals are entering the scene
Scared to death of the jail stories that's true
They are afraid of jail because they know how bad it can be
You cold weak live life on the street
You're not tough enough to survive on the streets
While locked up homoed with pink sheets (bitch nigga)
You were raped and forced to wear pink sheets in jail, pathetic
Discrete and your cell shook to sleep
You stay quiet in your cell because you're afraid of being attacked in your sleep
I wild out no doubt till the day I'm out
I will continue my criminal activity until the day I die or am released from prison
Me personally what I did three kid you weak
I committed three crimes while you're too weak to even commit one
Your station and P.A.C.
Your status and power doesn't compare to mine
Son fuck this jail shit so tell 'em about the streets son (echo)
Forget about jail, let's talk about the streets
