Raphaël Michel Hamburger (born 2 April 1981) is a French producer and a soundtrack music supervisor.

Career

After studying sound engineering,[2] Hamburger produced albums for several French artists, including the pop-rocke singer Adrienne Pauly,[3] the rapper and beatboxer Spleen, HollySiz,[4] June&Ours[5] and Polo & Pan.[6] He participated in the French version of Sean Lennon's song "Parachute", called "L'Éclipse" (The eclipse), with Mathieu Chedid, and founded Hamburger Records, Radiooooo,[7] with Kolkoz artist Benjamin Moreau,[8] Chi-Fou-Mi Records and MMM agency, with Schmooze music supervision and sound production company founder, Matthieu Sibony.[9]

In 2016, Hamburger produced the Ritz Bar compilation.[10] He bought the former Studios Acousti, rebaptised Studios Saint-Germain,[11] directed by Élodie Filleul.[12]

In 2018, 37 female singers (including Brigitte, Mayra Andrade, Anaïs Croze, Clara Luciani, Sandra Nkaké, Elisa Tovati, Agnès Jaoui, Olivia Ruiz, La Grande Sophie, Superbus, Elodie Frégé, Inna Modja, Mai Lan and Julie Zenatti) recorded the new version of the anthem of the Mouvement de libération des femmes.[13]

In 2019, for the first anniversary of Hamburger's mother's death, Mathieu Chedid dedicated a song, Un autre paradis, to Hamburger that appeared on the album Lettre infinie.[14]

In 2020, Hamburger was prepared to produce Starmania at the Seine Musicale of Boulogne-Billancourt,[15] canceled in 2021 and in 2022[16] due to COVID-19 pandemic.

From 2016 to 2020, Hamburger managed a Spa, SkySpa (Laddaparis).[17][18][19][20][21][22]

In 2022, Hamburger's personal adaptation of Starmania faced strong backlash, receiving severe criticism: beginnings "timid, murmuring", "strangely false", "inexperienced", "nearly kitsch and vintage".[23] Vanity Fair said that the sound was too loud and the light dangerous for photo-sensitive people.[24] The costumes of Nicolas Ghesquière "do not say anything", and the political dimension is "erased for love stories", "programmed for the Instagram generation",[25] with "a certain coldness and a lack of vocal projection", and too many "slapped basses" and "dumb" arrangements with a "1990s funk-rock" sauce, songs that have aged badly, a cold first part, and slow and a backfiring second act.[26]

Personal life

Hamburger is the son of French singers Michel Berger and France Gall, the grandson of French physician, surgeon and essayist Jean Hamburger, the great-grandson of the co-founder of Manécanterie des Petits Chanteurs à la Croix de Bois, Paul Berthier,[27] and godson of French stand-up comedian and actor Coluche.

Known as a difficult teenager,[28] Hamburger was severely injured in a scooter accident at a young age and almost died.[29] After his sister Pauline died on 15 December 1997 from cystic fibrosis, he went through an acrimonious trial in June 1998 against his aunt and his father's former companion, Véronique Sanson, because he wanted to transfer Pauline's remains to be next to their father's in a closed vault in the Montmartre Cemetery. After the 26 October hearing, and a failed mediation on 11 January 1999, there were new hearings on 31 May and 28 June. On 4 October the Tribunal de grande instance de Paris gave the order to transfer Berger's remains next to his daughter's.[30]

Hamburger is a regular poker player[31] and the father of Ella, born in 2021.[32]
