Jean Roch

Music Artist

As a musician, DJ and entrepreneur, what are some of the latest projects that you've been working on recently? I'm currently focusing on creating a second album which I hope will be as successful as my rst one. As the creator of the VIP ROOM nightclubs, I'm also preparing with my team the next VIP Room events which will take place midMay 2014 during the 67th Cannes Film Festival. As you can imagine, the casting and the event will be stunning! We'll also be launching a VIP Room event at the Grimaldi Forum during the F1 Monaco Grand Prix, and I can't wait to re-open our Saint-Tropez VIP Room nightclub in a brand new venue on the last week-end of June.

How would you describe Paris?

I'm originally from Provence in the South of France and I have a really positive view about Paris. I remember being young and thinking that Paris was not for me, however I now wonder how I could live without Paris! e main advantage is that you can easily change areas, communities and styles of people, according to your mood. I love the Marais, Saint Germain and the Montorgueil districts, for the soul and cultural melting pot that each of these areas has to o er. But at the end of the day, the city has so much to o er that you never really know Paris ...
