Florian Picasso
Florian Ruiz-Picasso is a French DJ and record producer based in Cannes. By adoption, he is a great-grandson of the well-known artist, Pablo Picasso. He gained recognition for collaborations with Martin Garrix, Nicky Romero and Steve Aoki. In 2016, he was ranked by DJ Mag at 38th on their annual list of Top 100 DJs.
Since 2024, Picasso has pursued a more underground and independent musical direction. In 2025, he launched his own label, DKD Records, debuting with the Hi Heels EP, which introduced a harder, more groove-oriented techno sound. He also initiated Dekadance, envisioned as a creative movement and platform for genre-blending electronic music.
In 2025, following the release of his Hi Heels EP on DKD Records, Picasso released his second major project of the year, the single "When I Saw U". The track was designed to evoke a sense of pure happiness and emotional uplift, aiming to capture the instant, euphoric feeling of connection when someone enters a room. Picasso’s recent work reflects his focus on releasing music independently and shaping his own artistic direction.
Picasso was born in Vietnam and was adopted by Marina Picasso, the granddaughter of the famous artist, Pablo Picasso. After his adoption, he moved to Cannes, France, and has described the city as his hometown. He was also raised in Paris and Switzerland. He started making music at the age of 13, when he would perform at events in his boarding school Collège Alpin International Beau Soleil. He became more serious about his musical career at the age of 19.
He currently resides in Geneva, Switzerland and Cannes, France.
Florian Picasso grew up between Paris, Cannes, and Switzerland. Florian's passion for music began at a young age, with a love for classic hip-hop. His musical influences expanded as he discovered electronic music through artists like Basement Jaxx and Groove Armada. Starting at the age of 13, Florian began DJing and honing his skills on a basic setup. He quickly developed his own style, showcasing a versatile range of genres from trance to trap and electro house.
Florian Picasso started his career as a DJ and music producer in 2013. He has collaborated with several renowned DJs and producers, including Steve Aoki, Nicky Romero and Martin Garrix. Picasso has performed at major music festivals such as Ultra Music Festival and Tomorrowland. He has been performing in big clubs since he was 16 years old, has opened for acts like Swedish House Mafia and began headlining his own shows.
On 29 June 2016, he released a single titled "Final Call" through Armada Music under exclusive license from Protocol Recordings, a label run by Nicky Romero. The song peaked on Billboard's Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart at 39. On 23 November 2016, it was announced that Picasso signed a deal with Spinnin' Records, with whom he released a single titled "Cracked Wall" on 2 December 2016. Florian Picasso was known for his hybrid and versatile style that encompasses genres such as electro house, progressive house, and bass house.
