Kungs

Valentin Brunel aka Kungs is a French DJ and producer from Toulon, where he was born on December 17, 1996. From the age of five, he played the djembe, then discovered rock thanks to his music-loving father. An electro enthusiast, the teenager produced numerous pirate releases and other unofficial remixes of his idols, which he posted on social networks. These included tracks such as Bob Marley & the Wailers' "Jammin'" and Lana Del Rey's "West Coast", a cover done with singer Molly. Thanks to this viral success, requests for remixes soon poured in from renowned DJs such as Axwell and Ingrosso and Lost Frequencies, whose track "Are You with Me" he remixed. Kungs then released a track under his own name , "To Describe You", featuring Mozambo and Molly. In 2016, David Guetta took him under his wing for seven concerts on his European tour. That same year, his first single "This Girl" put him on the house music map, making a name for himself in clubs and on the airwaves, as well as in the charts, where it gave the artist his first No. 1. The same year saw the release of his debut album Layers, which also featured tracks such as "Don't You Know" (No. 5), "I Feel so Bad" (No. 3) and "You Remain " (No. 45). Although he released a few tracks in the years that followed, it wasn't until 2022 that he returned with a new full-length project, Club Azur, which reached No. 11 in France. It included tracks such as "Never Going Home" (No. 5), "Lipstick" (No. 148) and "Clap Your Hands" (No. 53). In 2024, Kungs unveiled the singles "All Night Long" (no. 118), which he recorded with David Guetta and Izzy Bizu, and "Please Be Mine", which he conceived with DJ Seinfield. Following the release of The Complete Collection EP (2024), Kungs collaborates with PNAU on "Light Me Up", Channel Tres on "Nasty", Theophilus London on "Galaxy" and Boys Noize on "Get Away", tracks that appear on his third album Out Loud (2026), which reaches No. 109.
