Daddy DJ is a French dance act consisting of David Le Roy and Jean-Christophe Belval.

Musical career

Their debut self-titled single "Daddy DJ" released in October 2000, reached 2nd position in the French top 100 for almost 5 months. In Germany the song reached 7th place, while in Switzerland the song reached 22nd place in the charts, in addition to the singles The Girl In Red (41) and Over You (96). In Austria, the debut single reached 8th position.

Character

Daddy DJ's music videos feature a 13-year-old boy known as Kross. Kross has blonde dreadlocks and a white bucket hat. He wears a black shirt and purple pants. He is known in all of the music videos as a child DJ prodigy, who is more adapted at being a DJ than his father. All of the shorts were produced by Aladin Animation in France. He is 2D animated in Daddy DJ and "The Girl in Red" but 3D animated in "Over You" with live-action appearances of all 3 members from the act.
