Born 10 May 1967, he is a Grammy Award-nominated French record producer, House music DJ, remixer and owner of the label Yellow Productions.
Sinclar started DJing in 1986, when he was 18 years old, specialising in funk and hip-hop music, with the name Chris The French Kiss. His first club hit was "Gym Tonic", which was co-produced by Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk, featuring vocals illegally taken from a Jane Fonda fitness tape. The Bob Sinclar persona was based on a character from Philippe de Broca's film Le Magnifique.
Le Friant is famous for popularising the "French touch" of house music, with heavy use of sampled and filtered disco strings. His track "I Feel For You", a tribute to French musician Cerrone, from his second album Champs Elysées, hit #9 in the UK Top 40. On track "Darlin'", he worked with vocalist James "D-Train" Williams.
Le Friant has also worked under other pseudonyms. Under the aliases The Mighty Bop and Reminiscence Quartet, he has dabbled in hip-hop and acid jazz. He also created the Africanism project, where an ensemble of artists produce house music with a combination of Latin, jazz, African and tribal flavours.
In 2005 he scored a hit with the single "Love Generation", that reached #1 on the Australian ARIA Singles Charts and the German Media Control Single Charts in 2006. The song was a huge success throughout Europe, also peaking at no. 2 in the Dutch Top 40 and it stood 39 weeks in the Ultratop 50 in Belgium. It also became one of the official anthems for the World Cup 2006 held in Germany. The follow-up hit was "World, Hold On", that features Steve Edwards and also managed to chart in the top ten in most of the European countries. "Rock This Party (Everybody Dance Now)" followed on 22 August 2006.
The remix of "World, Hold on" by E-Smoove is nominated for a Grammy 2007 in the category Remixed Recording. Also, "World, Hold On" topped in Billboard Magazine as Number One Hot Dance Club Play Single of 2006, beating Madonna and Christina Aguilera.
The fourth single of the album Western Dream, called "Tennessee" was supposed to be released in April 2007, but it was cancelled due to the rumour of a new album being released[citation needed].
His latest album is Soundz of Freedom. It came out in France on 21 May 2007. The remix of "Rock This Party" reached number 1 in the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play

The Meaning Of Life
On the way
Trying to get where I′d like to say
I'm always feeling steered away
By someone trying to tell me
What to say and do
I don′t want it
I gotta go find my own way
I gotta go make my own mistakes
Sorry man for feeling
Feeling the way I do
On yeah, Oh yeah
Open wide and they'll shove in
Their meaning of life
Oh yeah, Oh yeah
But not for me I'll do it on my own
Oh yeah, Oh yeah
Open wide and swallow their meaning of life
I can′t make it work your way
Thanks but no thanks
By the way
I know your path has been tried and so
It may seem like the way to go
Me, I′d rather be found
Trying something new
And the bottom line
In all of this seems to say
There's no right and wrong way
Sorry if I don′t feel like
Living the way you do

Overall Meaning

The Mighty Bop's song "Life" is a reflection on the struggle to maintain individuality in a world that is constantly trying to dictate one's attitude and actions. The main character is on a journey to find their own path, but they constantly feel pressured by others to conform to their expectations. The lyrics express a sense of frustration and defiance towards those who try to impose their meaning of life on others.

The first verse lays out the main conflict of the song, with the singer feeling "steered away" from their desired destination by outside pressure. They reject the notion of being told what to say and do, and opt to find their own way and make their own mistakes. The chorus emphasizes this rejection of outside influence, with the singer refusing to conform to the "meaning of life" that others would have them accept.

The second verse acknowledges that the path others are advocating for has been "tried and so it may seem like the way to go." However, the singer chooses to take a chance and try something new rather than blindly following in others' footsteps. The bottom line, the lyrics suggest, is that there is no one right way to live life. The singer is unapologetic for not wanting to live the way others do, a sentiment that is reiterated in the final lines of the song.

Overall, "Life" is a call to individuality and a rejection of conformity. It reflects the struggle to find one's own path in the face of outside pressure, and the importance of staying true to oneself even when others try to steer us astray.
