At the age of 30, Pierre Abbate (his name in civil status) is a Toulon artist, DJ and producer of electronic music. He won his first gold record for 10,000 copies sold of his single I was made Poland.

Everything is rolling for this young man who spent his high school years at Dumont d’Urville then joined the faculty of law, before turning definitively to his passion: music.

“You started out in clubs in the region as an apprentice DJ”, told the mayor, Hubert Falco, who received him in the salon of honor yesterday morning. “We offered you the stage of the Liberté Plages festival in 2019 where there were 20,000 people. A memorable concert!”

Noting that I was made had totaled 1.5 million listenings on musical platforms, the mayor of Toulon greeted, through him, the “creativity and cultural dynamism of Toulon youth, which the city is proud to promote”. He presented him with the city medal before giving him the floor.

“A very personal emotion”

“It is a very personal emotion to be here with you today”, said DJ Le Pèdre. “In my videos, I showed Mayol, Le Faron, Le Mourillon to show everyone my city. Yes, I’m proud to be Toulonnais and to be able to make my music known everywhere.”

In total, 45 million cumulative listenings of his songs were recorded on the Internet, according to the artist. For the municipality, it is essential to continue to “tirelessly support local projects and support our artists”. Pierre Abbate is a good example of this emancipation.
