Mehdi Benjelloun (born 10 November 1999) better known by his stage name Petit Biscuit, is a French DJ and music producer. He is one half of the indie-pop duo Mount Dreams with friend Romain Bauthier, known as LUUUL.

Early life

He was born to a Moroccan father and a French mother.[3][4][5]

Mehdi learned to play instruments such as piano, cello and guitar but preferred electro house sounds as he was able to produce "unlimited combinations of music".[6] His early musical interests and inspirations included electronica and classical music. Benjelloun is a regular high school student who balances school work by day and music by night. The name "Petit Biscuit" is said to come from his love of French pastries his grandmother would make. Giving him the smallest of each batch, his grandmother and his girlfriend at the time (Sofia Seqqat) would pat him on the head and say, “I love you my little biscuit.”

In July 2017, he graduated from high school, with a Baccalauréat Scientifique mention très bien. From September 2017, he started studying at Paris-Dauphine University and left the university to focus more on music in March 2018 .[7]
