JWLES X CORE + GUEST TBA - LILLE

A Frenchman who grew up in the United States and is now based in the Paris region, Jwles is developing a unique trajectory bridging rap, fashion, and visual culture, revealing the richness and breadth of his artistic vision. His travels—from Atlanta to Russia via Egypt—fuel a globalized and unpredictable aesthetic. Spotted by cutting-edge artists in their niche scenes, he collaborates with Shawny Binladen, Skrilla, Slimesito, and Sideshow, illustrating the extent of his connections within the American underground rap scene.

In France, he has been working for several years with producers Blasé and Mad Rey. His universe also sits between electro and hip-hop, supported by Brodinski and Pedro Winter of Ed Banger Records. With one foot in fashion and art, he moves alongside artists like Shadrinsky and Chito, appears in the Supreme ecosystem, and notably walked his first runway show for Prototypes.

His latest release, Bijoux and its extended version Bijoux de Luxe, extends this hybrid artistic vision. Returning from Russia—in the arms of a bear—Jwles will perform at La Cigale on December 10, 2026.
