History

Numéro was founded in 1998 by Elisabeth Djian, the previous fashion director of the obscure Jill magazine, who is now Numéro's editor-in-chief. When asked why she created Numéro, Djian commented, "I was bored with magazines that told me how to seduce a man. I wanted to create this magazine for an intelligent, smart woman who wants to read about art, design, music: not about stupidity – creams that take away wrinkles, you know, which is stupid."

Biography

Jérôme Rocipon is originally from the region of Bordeaux in France, and was a guitarist in various rock 'n roll groups in France with interests in hip hop music. He started to correspond with Pierre Crube, a Québécois living in Montreal, and composer of experimental electronic music. The two exchanged their compositions on the Internet. From this exchange, the project Numéro# was born, whose compositions were put online on MySpace.

Their first album, L'Idéologie des stars, was released in 2006 on the independent label Saboteur Musique in Montreal. The duo performed heavily, including notably opening up for TTC. A single, "Hit pop", started to receive play on commercial top 40 radio, which is unusual for an independent group.
