Bob Sinclar (born Christophe Le Friant, 10 May 1969), is a French record producer, House music DJ, remixer and the owner of the label Yellow Productions.[1] He is known for popularising the "French touch" of house music with heavy use of sampled and filtered disco strings. He describes his musical style as inspired by "peace, love, and house-music".[2]

Several of Sinclar's songs have became international hits, being particularly popular in Europe. Some of his most popular hits include "Love Generation" (with Gary Pine) and "World, Hold On" (with Steve Edwards).
