Sinclair was born into an extremely musical family in 1971. His father, Dominique Blanc-Francard, is one of the most renowned sound engineers in France while his brother, Hubert, better known to music fans as Boom Bass, is a talented producer and DJ. Growing up surrounded by record collections and musical instruments, it was not long before Blanc-Francard Junior decided to launch a musical career of his own, adopting the alias Sinclair.

Sinclair developed a passion for music at an early age and by 15 the music-crazed teenager was devoting all his time and energy to his hobby, much to the detriment of his schoolwork (Sinclair would go on to fail his 'baccalauréat'). Working essentially with guitar and keyboards, but also getting to grips with studio production techniques, Sinclair began inventing his own sound. The young French musician's principle influence was black American music. He was particularly inspired by the melodies and vocal style of his musical hero Stevie Wonder, as well as the wild guitar solos of the legendary Jimi Hendrix. But funk was Sinclair's guiding light, whether it was in the form of the 70's groove of Sly Stone or Prince's sensual 80's version.

In 1992 Sinclair went into his home studio with brother Hubert to record his début solo album "Que justice soit faite". The multi-talented young musician played all the instruments on his first album, with the exception of drums, exercising complete artistic control over his work. Released in 1993, the album proved a great success with French teenagers who quickly picked up on Sinclair's funky à la française. The singer's finely-crafted and stunningly simple lyrics, generally recounting his own day-to-day life, proved incredibly catchy and the first single release "Votre image" was soon doing well in the charts.

Following the success of the album, Sinclair performed his first major concert in Paris at the New Morning on May 12th 1993. Accompanied by a group of nine funk musicians, Sinclair brought the house down and that night the concept of his backing band, the "Système Sinclair", was born. Following the audience's enthusiastic reception at the New Morning, Sinclair went on to perform an extensive international tour (playing over 100 dates throughout France, Europe and Canada).

By this point Sinclair was one of the fast-rising stars on the French music scene and it came as no surprise to anyone when the talented youngster was hailed as Best Newcomer of 95 at the "Victoires de la Musique" awards. Later that year Sinclair would go off into a studio in the depths of the French countryside to record a second album with his band. "Au mépris du danger", which was very much in the same funky fresh vein as the singer's first album, was once again largely autobiographical. But the musical arrangements on the second album were pared down to the bare essentials, bringing the excellent melodies to the fore. After the release of the album and the successful first single "A la ronde", Sinclair embarked upon another extensive tour with his group "Le Système". The group's vibrant sound and Sinclair's energetic vocal performances were at their very best under live conditions, and all 250 concerts on the tour proved to be a great success.

After this intensive period of touring Sinclair became a little more sedentary in 1997, devoting his time and energy to his recording work. Sinclair's third album, "La bonne attitude", released earlier this year, marks something of a turning-point in the French funkmaster's career. Turning away from his early American influences, Sinclair appears to have found his own voice, creating an innovative funk sound which is more distinctively French. Judging by his excellent track record so far, this exciting young singer and musician has an extremely promising future ahead of him.

After completing a highly successful tour (playing dates up and down the country throughout the whole of 98), Sinclair brought the house down when he performed the grand finale of his tour in Paris at Le Zénith on 28 November.

The tour live album was soon brought out. But, as Sinclair’s relationship with his label rapidly deteriorated, the project of a new album was put on hold. Things did not take off until 2001 when Sinclair signed a contract with a new label. In September that year, he released "Supernova Superstar" that he had recorded at Labomatic, the studio owned by himself, his brother Boom Bass and their father. As much under the influence of funk as ever, Sinclair wrote the music, penned the lyrics and arranged the whole of the twelve tracks on the album. The first single, "Ça m’fait plus mal" (The healing has begun) was dedicated to his partner, French actress Emma De Caunes, whom he married in September. Anxious to reunite with his audience as soon as possible, Sinclair scheduled a few gigs in some clubs in order to warm up and test the album’s stage potential.

Sinclair hit the road in earnest, however, in January 2002 kicking off a major new tour after sales of his album "Supernova Superstar" topped the 100,000 mark. The tour, which is due to run through until the end of the summer festival season, included two Parisian dates at Le Zénith on 3 and 4 April. Sinclair was also invited to play a special gig at Le Zénith on 9 March at the "Victoires de la Musique" Awards (where he himself received a nomination in the Best Pop Album category).

Following this success, Sinclair continued with his tour, stopping off to play at the Olympia, the legendary music venue in Paris, on 9 & 10 July 2002. These concerts were captured live and released on a DVD ("Live à l'Olympia 2002") on 18 March 2003.

In 2004, Sinclair re-emerged on the music scene with a new album entitled "Comme je suis, 1994-2002 ." Released on 11 December 2004, this compilation included highlights of the crazy red-top’s career to date and also included new versions of a number of his hits plus nine previously unreleased songs. Sinclair brought the house down at the Olympia once again on 18 April 2005.

From that point up until 2005, Sinclair continued to perform live but spent most of his remaining time concentrating on songwriting and composing for films. He finished composing the soundtrack for the comic film "Ma vie en l'air" (which hit French screens on 7 September 2005), before locking himself away to rehearse for his next live stint, dubbed the "Electro Acoustic Tour" (a 22-date French tour due to keep him on the road from 15 November to 19 December 2005).

In October 2006, Sinclair released his sixth album, "Morphologiques", on his own label Mini Strong. This album proved to be something of a musical turning-point in his career, since the twelve tracks on it - as fast, upbeat and vibrant as ever – integrated rock influences for the first time.          

As far as songwriting themes were concerned, "Morphologiques" found Sinclair exploring the themes of love (on the title track) as well as deeper existential questions ("Honni soit"). The first single release from the album, "A chaque seconde", soon enjoyed success on the French airwaves.
