Daft Punk is an electronic music duo consisting of Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter from France. They met in 1987 while in school in Paris and formed their first band called Darlin' in 1992. After a bad review, they changed their name to Daft Punk and experimented with synthesizers and drum machines. Their debut single in 1994 was a hit and they became pioneers in the techno/house scene by incorporating elements of other genres. Their album "Homework" in 1997 sold over 2 million copies, cementing their success internationally.
