HYPHEN HYPHEN is a queer/rock band with a strong message composed by Santa, Line and Adam.

At only 27 years old, the European band with 500 concerts and a gold debut album, was born on the benches of the Lycée Masséna in Nice (South of France), and has quickly built a solid European reputation with titles such as ‘Just Need Your Love’, ‘Like Boys’ or ‘Mama Sorry’ bringing and defending essential message for the LGBTQ+ communities.

In 2016, their debut album was certified gold in France and their stage performance is also unanimously hailed and rewarded by a French Music Award for Best New Live Perf.

Hyphen Hyphen are also well known for their collaborations with major artists and luxury brands such as Armani, Yves-Saint Laurent, or Lacoste as their track ‘Like Boys’ is the music of the last spot for ‘French Panache’ perfume.

The band was formed at the Conservatory of Nice, when all four members were studying Plastic Arts. Santa and Adam are childhood friends, and met the other two band members in high school. They chose the term Hyphen from Ancient Greek ὑφ᾽ ἕν (hyph' hén), an elision of ὑπό ἕν (hypó hén), "in one" (literally "under one").

They self-released their two EPs, titled Chewbacca I'm Your Mother (March 2011) and Wild Union (May 2012). The first elements from their current visual identity began showing with these projects, including tribal signs. They would later use the term Wild Union to describe the bond they formed both within the band and with their ever-growing audience.

Since 2010, Hyphen Hyphen have taken part in many national and regional music contests. They notably won the Prix du Jury of Les Inrocks Lab in 2011, the Biennale des Jeunes Créateurs d'Europe et de Méditerranée in 2011 and made it to the 2012 Printemps de Bourges finals. Hyphen Hyphen also won FAIR 2013, détours ADAMI 2013 and Best Live 2013 with the two French bands Skip the Use and C2C.

Winning Song
Just Need Your Love Seven Winds You've left your shadow on the bed For me to keep. But I'm not keeping the night For it means nothing Should we stay together and run away from everyone Or burn down every time Should I be left alone with your temptation And my silent hurt feelings Lost in feelings We were holding the world in our hands I will stay with you On seven winds On seven winds On seven winds We've spilled out salt We've started from the scratch We've been breaking ice For ice will hold no grudge We've stayed together and run away from everyone We've been burning down every time We've stayed together with your temptation And my silent hurt feelings Lost in feelings We were holding the world in our hands I will stay with you On seven winds On seven winds On seven winds Lost in feelings We were holding the world in our hands I will stay with you On seven winds
