Who is Marc Rebillet, the artist who insulted Emmanuel Macron during a festival in Le Touquet?

After his official visit to Algeria Emmanuel Macron decided to stop at Le Touquet, where he has a residence, for a last weekend before the start of the school year. It was in the middle of the crowd that he was seen at the Touquet Music Beach concerts, Saturday August 27.

A few minutes before his arrival, the President of the Republic was the target of insulting remarks launched on stage by the Franco-American artist Marc Rebillet. But who is this singer?

A life between France and the United States

Marc Rebillet is the son of a Frenchman and an American who met in Paris. “My mother was a tourist, she asked him the time. They fell in love. They lived for a few years in Paris on rue de l’Université then left for the United States. My father worked in fashion, for Pierre Cardin in the 1970s, then opened the first Yves Saint-Laurent boutique in the southern United States,” the artist told Parisian. An only child, he grew up between Dallas and New Jersey. After a brief installation in Paris, he left for the United States and settled in New York.

He made himself known during confinement

His career takes off during confinement thanks to social networks. Live every evening, in a bathrobe, he performs artistic performances in his New York apartment. A bathrobe that has become his trademark and that he even wears on stage, as written The voice of the North.

During his concerts the artist improvises. He explains to our colleagues from Parisian do “pretty traditional soul funk dance but I experiment in the sense that I improvise every night on stage, I don’t have any list of songs prepared, I create the show according to people’s reactions. Since the year last, I bring a bottle of champagne, which I douse them with. It’s chaotic, but keeping the attention of 5,000 people is harder than 500. It takes energy.”

Accustomed to provocations

At the Touquet Music Beach festival, the artist’s improvisation led her to insults, with a new target… Emmanuel Macron. Several insulting remarks were made by the singer on stage based, among other things, on “Fuck Macron” and “Macron clears”. The direction of the festival tried to reason with the artist in the middle of the concert… It was a waste of time.

A few years ago Marc Rebillet had already provoked the president with a performance on the “Yellow Vests” in which he called for his resignation.

In 2018 it was Donald Trump, then American president, who was insulted by the artist. On one of his electro mixes, the musician chants “Fuck Donald Trump” which can be translated as “Fuck you”. In this song the singer does not stop there and accuses the former president of “shaming the whole country” and asserts: “Do you think you’re going to wake up in the morning and be able to tweet any bullshit? Nobody doesn’t want to hear it, nobody wants to see it, go show yourself Donald Trump” report our colleagues from The voice of the North.
