Alongside established French and international artists, RDN (a young rapper from Val d’Oise), Resfalord (a true Paris-born creative talent developing an experimental rap sound), and Tydi S (an artist from northern Paris, blending rap and Afro-Caribbean influences) devoted their full talent to the musical creations.

True representatives of Greater Paris’ creative energy, they embodied the next generation of the Parisian scene and the DNA of Paris Saint-Germain by collaborating, recording and co-creating original tracks in an exceptional professional environment.

“Taking part in the Ici C’est Paris Music Lab feels like a childhood dream come true. Ever since I was very young, I’ve been truly passionate about music and a huge Paris Saint-Germain fan. I can hardly believe how lucky I am to be surrounded by so many talented artists and musicians. It’s incredible!”
RDN

“Taking part in the Ici C’est Paris Music Lab is a true mark of recognition for my music as an artist and a tremendous joy as a PSG supporter. Being able to collaborate with these artists and songwriters around my greatest passion — music — is incredibly rewarding and inspiring. Sharing this moment at the heart of the Parc is something I deeply cherish, and I wish it would never end.”
Resfalord

“The Ici C’est Paris Music Lab was a fantastic opportunity to be part of a collective project serving Paris Saint-Germain — my hometown club, the club of Paris, my city. The Club pushes the boundaries of what a traditional football club can be, and I share that same mindset in the way I produce my music: a constant drive to innovate, to explore different creative worlds, and of course to showcase Paris — just as Paris Saint-Germain does.”
Tydi S

A weekend driven by original productions and unprecedented collaborations

Beyond the studio sessions, the Ici C’est Paris Music Lab was marked by several highlights that transformed the Parc des Princes into a true cultural stage. As an event partner, Radio Nova exceptionally broadcast its flagship show Nova Danse from the Parc des Princes on Saturday, February 28. For the occasion, producers Crayon and LUCASV turned up the heat, taking over the decks for a two-hour set blending French Touch-inspired electronic music with alternative electronic hip-hop.

The songwriting camp also sparked unique encounters and standout moments between artists from different creative worlds, merging musical influences and cultures, illustrated by exclusive collaborations between Théodora and JT, as well as Mero and ElGrandeToto. Several original tracks born in the stands of the Parc des Princes will be released in the coming months as part of a special mixtape.

“We are extremely proud to have seen the Parc des Princes become, during the ICI C’EST PARIS Music Lab, a true hub of musical creation. Seventy-five French and international artists, along with emerging talents, were able to express themselves, share their energy and create together. The connection and chemistry between them were truly inspiring to witness. This collaborative spirit perfectly reflects the DNA of Paris Saint-Germain. We now look forward to unveiling the music produced over the weekend to all the Club’s supporters.”
