Daft Punk

Daft Punk is a French electronic music duo formed in Paris in 1993 by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter. They achieved popularity in the late 1990s as part of the French house movement combining elements of house music with funk, techno, disco, rock and synthpop. They wear ornate helmets and gloves to assume robot personas in public appearances since 1999 and rarely grant interviews or appear on television. In 2013, Daft Punk released their fourth album, Random Access Memories, to acclaim; lead single "Get Lucky" reached the top 10 in the charts of 32 countries. Random Access Memories won five Grammy Awards in 2014, including Album of the Year and Record of the Year for "Get Lucky." In 2016, Daft Punk gained their first number one on the Billboard Hot 100 with the song "Starboy," a collaboration with The Weeknd. As of 2015, Daft Punk had sold over 12 million albums worldwide.
